On the night of August 30, 2014, 36-year-old Manuel G. Williams, a carpenter from Poplar Bluff, was shot and killed at a gathering on Jackson Street in Doniphan, Missouri. Police were called about 11:31 p.m. and found Williams in the driveway with two gunshot wounds, one to the head and one to the chest; he was pronounced dead at the scene.

Witnesses at the party said an argument occurred between Williams and 56-year-old Michael L. Futrell of Doniphan. Futrell reportedly left in anger, returned with a handgun, and fired, striking Williams. A witness who ran to a nearby house heard a second shot shortly after. Officers arrested Futrell at his home a few houses away and seized a handgun and three magazines. Charges were filed including first-degree murder, armed criminal action, and unlawful use of a loaded firearm. Alcohol was reported to have been present at the party.

Did anyone at the gathering or neighbors on Jackson Street see or hear anything that could add details about the confrontation or the moments before the shooting?
