Ecru Richardson was 21 when he was fatally shot on December 7, 2017, at The Oaks Apartments in Tampa during what investigators describe as a suspected drug deal gone wrong. Richardson was shot outside an apartment after going to meet an unidentified individual; he ran back to a car where an acquaintance, 23-year-old Daundrea Butler, was waiting. Butler drove Richardson to the hospital, but Richardson died of his injuries.

Authorities say Butler had dropped Richardson off at the complex and waited in the car while Richardson met the unknown person. Butler was later arrested and charged with third-degree murder and held on $15,000 bond as investigators processed evidence and interviewed witnesses to identify the shooter and reconstruct the transaction that led to the shooting.

Who has information about the meeting at The Oaks Apartments or the unidentified person Richardson met that night?
