Roger Lee Ford Jr., 42, was killed on January 21, 2019, in Saint Petersburg, Florida, during an unofficial after-party for the city’s Martin Luther King Jr. Day Dream Big Parade. The gathering at a gas station attracted more than 100 people when gunfire broke out. Ford was a passenger in a car that came under attack and was struck 11 times; he and 39-year-old Tywan Jeremiah Armstrong were pronounced dead at the hospital. Carlos Demetrius Young was wounded but survived.

Investigators say the shooting was a targeted attack tied to local drug conflicts. Authorities allege Kermon Williams, known as The General, viewed Armstrong as a threat to his drug business and recruited James Higgs Jr. and Jhaphre Higgs to carry out the assault, supplying an AR-15. The attackers reportedly aimed to make the killing public, opening fire on the vehicle in front of the crowd. Who has information about that after-party or the events leading up to the shooting?
