James Dale Gonyer, 21, was fatally shot on May 26, 2019, at a residence on Blanchard Latex Road in Shreveport, Louisiana. He had been visiting with his girlfriend and 19-year-old Brandon McLaughlin when an argument between Gonyer and his girlfriend moved into a bedroom. McLaughlin intervened by firing a shot into an air mattress, and a subsequent confrontation ended when McLaughlin shot Gonyer six times with a .40-caliber handgun, killing him.

McLaughlin was arrested and initially charged with manslaughter. Who has information about the night of May 26, 2019, or knew James Dale Gonyer and his movements that evening?
