Kevin Williams, 32, was shot and killed in Long Beach on June 5, 2019. The shooting occurred about 4:20 p.m. in the 5500 block of Atlantic Avenue after officers responded to a report of a person with a gun. Williams was found with gunshot wounds to his upper torso and was pronounced dead at the scene despite life-saving efforts.

Investigators say the violence began during a vehicle transaction for a large quantity of marijuana involving Williams, Devaris Watson, 29, of Memphis, Tennessee, and Marquise Harris, 26, also from Memphis. Williams and Watson allegedly disagreed over the terms, both men brandished firearms and shot at each other; Watson was taken to a Gardena hospital by Harris and later died of his wounds. Harris was arrested June 6, 2019, at a motel in Garden Grove and charged with two counts of carrying a concealed firearm in a vehicle and one count of possession of marijuana with intent to distribute. Searches recovered two firearms, about two pounds of marijuana and about $15,000 in cash.

The Long Beach Police presented the case to the Los Angeles County District Attorney on June 10, 2019; detectives continued interviewing witnesses and collecting evidence. Did anyone see or have information about the transaction in the 5500 block of Atlantic Avenue that afternoon?
