Gilbert Ray Bush, 29, also known as Fard Ali, was shot and killed on October 2, 2021, in downtown St. Petersburg, Florida. The shooting occurred about 1:20 a.m. after an argument over a parking spot; Bush attempted to park where a group including 23-year-old Charles Edward Bentley and friends were standing. Bentley pulled out a firearm and shot Bush multiple times. Bush was taken to Bayfront Health St. Petersburg and pronounced dead.

Bentley fled on foot but was arrested a short distance away and charged with second-degree murder; he was held without bail. Bush was remembered by family and acquaintances as disciplined, loyal, devout, and athletic, having moved from a promising basketball path into boxing. The case has drawn attention because an apparently minor dispute ended in fatal gunfire.

Did anyone in the area witness the confrontation or have information about what happened just before the shooting?
