On August 25, 2019, a prearranged meeting at the Brush Creek Community Center in Kansas City, Missouri, between 28-year-old Cartez Monte Seals and 29-year-old Marcus Neal ended in a deadly confrontation. A physical struggle reportedly led to a handgun falling to the ground. A 17-year-old present, Treshaun Hawkins, picked up the gun and fired multiple shots at both men. One victim died at the scene and the other later died at a hospital; Cartez Seals was among those killed.

Police traced the Ford Escape used to flee the scene to a family member and identified Hawkins as the suspected shooter. Accompanied by an attorney, Hawkins surrendered and was charged as an adult with second-degree murder and armed criminal action in Seals’s death and charged in connection with Neal’s death.

Are there witnesses or neighbors who recall the meeting outside the community center that evening?
