Wilson Alexis, 21, of North Miami Beach, Florida, was shot and killed on January 5, 2014 during a baptism party for a five-month-old child at a residence on NE 15 Avenue. The gathering had been publicized on social media and drew a group of uninvited guests. An argument between one uninvited guest and a kitchen helper over utensils and food escalated; the homeowner began shutting the party down and asked everyone to leave.

Two shots were fired and one bullet struck him. He was taken to Ryder Trauma Center, where he later died. The North Miami Beach Police Department investigated and identified 26-year-old Louis Kenson Avril as the primary suspect; Avril was arrested and charged with first-degree premeditated murder with a firearm, first-degree attempted premeditated murder with a firearm, and reckless discharge of a firearm. Of about 100 partygoers, only a few stayed to give statements, and authorities asked anyone with information to come forward.

Did anyone at the baptism party or neighborhood at the time see what happened or have details that could clarify the sequence of events?
