Justin Williams, 22, was fatally shot on September 18, 2015, in the 6600 block of Monroe Avenue in Kansas City, Missouri, after a dispute that began with a minor car collision. Witnesses said a silver Neon struck a parked car, two men got out and a fight followed. Williams ran from one of the men, and the assailant, described in an orange hooded sweatshirt, fired four or five shots at the fleeing Williams. Emergency responders found Williams on the pavement; he was taken to a hospital and later died.

A witness watched the shooter discard a handgun and an orange hooded sweatshirt into bushes behind a nearby residence and followed him until police arrived. Officers recovered the gun and the sweatshirt; ballistic testing matched shell casings at the scene to the recovered firearm. The suspect was identified as 18-year-old Marqiveon D. Washington, who after initially saying the gun belonged to Williams later admitted it was his. Washington was charged with first-degree murder, unlawful use of a weapon and armed criminal action and later pleaded guilty. In December 2016 a judge sentenced Washington to 19 years in prison for the murder, with a concurrent three-year term for armed criminal action.

Are there witnesses or local residents who remember the crash or the events on Monroe Avenue that night?
