A dispute after a youth basketball game in a Buffalo suburb turned deadly on April 29, 2017, when 54-year-old Robert Echols was shot and killed following an argument that began inside the Niagara Frontier Sports Complex in West Seneca. The disagreement moved from the lobby to outside the building, where reports say Echols punched another man, identified as Andre Lewis, as Lewis was holding his young daughter. Lewis then drew a licensed handgun and shot Echols twice; emergency responders arrived but Echols died of his wounds.

After investigators looked into the shooting, Andre Lewis was arrested and charged with second-degree murder. Two trials on that charge ended in hung juries. Lewis later pleaded guilty to a lesser charge of manslaughter and was sentenced to five years in prison followed by five years of post-release supervision.

If anyone attended that game or has information about the confrontation in the lobby or outside the complex, please share what you know.
