On the evening of April 23, 2017, 46-year-old Kathy Weston was walking in Ville Platte, Louisiana, when she was struck in the chest by a single bullet and killed after gunfire erupted during a dispute between two men. Investigators recovered a bullet from Weston’s body and linked it to a 9 mm Smith & Wesson; reports say the shooting occurred during an exchange in which Santiago Thomas was believed to be the intended target and was also wounded.

Robert Marquez Wilson was later identified as the primary suspect. He was indicted for second-degree murder on April 11, 2018; his trial began October 1, 2018, and on October 5 a jury convicted him of the lesser charge of manslaughter. He was sentenced January 17, 2019, to 25 years at hard labor. An appellate court subsequently reversed the conviction and vacated the sentence, remanding the case for a new trial, and the state sought further review.

Does anyone have information about Kathy’s last movements in Ville Platte on April 23, 2017, or seen anything that could help clarify what happened that night?
