Kahlil Oneal Williams, 20, of Lancaster, California, was killed on April 7, 2017. He was at a gathering in a garage in the 1000 block of Nugent Street when, according to witnesses, a friend, 29-year-old Rakym Thibodeaux, allegedly pointed a gun at Williams in a joking manner. Witnesses said Thibodeaux was horsing around when the firearm accidentally discharged and struck Williams in the head. He was pronounced dead at the scene at 11:16 p.m.; the Los Angeles County coroner recorded the cause of death as a gunshot wound to the head.

The investigation initially produced the arrest of another attendee, Terrell Scott, who was later released after additional witness interviews. Thibodeaux was arrested on suspicion of murder, booked with bail set at $2 million, and was formally charged with murder on April 11, 2017; an arraignment was scheduled for May 3, 2017, at the Michael Antonovich Antelope Valley Courthouse. The shooting drew attention from the Lancaster community because it stemmed from a reportedly joking display with a firearm that ended in a fatality.

Does anyone who attended that gathering or knew Kahlil have information that could clarify what happened that night?
