Trevor Mitchell, a 46-year-old African American man from Pompano Beach, Florida, was fatally shot on October 26, 2017 while barbecuing at a family cookout. The shooting followed an argument with Donel Bostick, a 46-year-old man from Miami who had grown up with Mitchell; witnesses say Bostick pulled out a gun and fired multiple times, reportedly emptying his entire clip. Mitchell was pronounced dead at the scene by Pompano Beach Fire Rescue.

After the shooting Bostick fled south on Interstate 95 and crashed near the Davie Boulevard exit in Fort Lauderdale. He initially resisted arrest but was eventually removed from his vehicle and taken into custody. The motive for the argument and the killing remains unclear. Trevor’s family described him as hardworking and dependable, and his father Wallace Mitchell and aunt Janice Rolle spoke of the deep loss his death created.

Does anyone who attended that cookout or knew Trevor and Donel have information about what sparked the argument?
