Anthony Ferguson Fontane, 39, was shot and killed after a posthumous birthday gathering at the Knights of Columbus hall in Fort Washington, Maryland, during the early morning hours of December 30, 2007. According to accounts, a misunderstanding inside the hall began when Fontane pointed at a young woman he knew; a man standing with her, identified as 19-year-old Donte Guzman, took offense. A physical altercation followed in which several people reportedly attacked Fontane. Fontane then walked to the parking lot where his truck was parked and was followed outside by Guzman, who fatally shot him after a brief exchange of words.

Two off-duty Prince George’s County police officers who were working security at the party pursued Guzman on foot and fired, wounding him in the leg when he did not stop. Guzman was taken to a hospital and subsequently charged with first-degree murder in Fontane’s death. Fontane had been known for organizing community events to honor victims of violence, and had worked as a contractor and barber while raising his 13-year-old son after an earlier prison term for cocaine distribution.

Does anyone have information about witnesses or security footage from that night who could fill in what happened in the hall and the parking lot?
