On the evening of November 19, 2014, 23-year-old Alex Gipson was fatally shot on Grant Avenue in Springfield, Missouri. Emergency responders found him with gunshot wounds and he died despite attempts to save him. Gipson was a father of two and was known to family and friends by nicknames including AJ and Apple Jacks.

Investigators identified a suspect in the shooting, but prosecutors ultimately declined to file charges. A witness statement described the attack as racially motivated, a detail that factored into controversy over the decision not to prosecute.

Gipson’s family and community remembered him through online memorials, candle-lighting and messages about his role as a son and dedicated father. Does anyone who knew Alex or who was in that neighborhood on November 19, 2014 have information that could shed more light on what happened?
