Michael Gibbs, a 32-year-old African American man, was shot and killed in the early morning of September 2, 2015, in the 5000 block of North Winthrop Avenue in Chicago. The shooting occurred after a dispute in a parking lot involving Gibbs, his friend Robert Anderson, and two others, Jonathon Thompson, 33, and Michael Laster, 28. During a struggle, Thompson produced a revolver and began shooting; Laster also fired at the victims. Gibbs suffered gunshot wounds to the jaw and arm and was taken to Advocate Illinois Masonic Medical Center, where he was pronounced dead. Anderson was shot in the head and died at the scene.

Thompson and Laster fled after the shooting but were later arrested and charged with two counts of first-degree murder. A judge ordered both held without bail and the case was set for further proceedings on September 23, 2015. Does anyone have information about Gibbs, the scene that night, or additional details that could help clarify what led to the confrontation?
