Antoine Armstead, a 33-year-old African American man, was shot in Rocky Mount, North Carolina, in the early morning hours of February 6, 2022. Police responded to a shooting on Madison Street about 4 a.m. and found Armstead lying in the street with a gunshot wound. He was taken to UNC Nash Healthcare in critical condition, transferred to Vidant Medical Center, and died later that afternoon.

Investigators say the shooting occurred inside a poolroom a short distance from where Armstead was found. Two suspects were identified. Rashon Knight, 36, was arrested and charged with first-degree murder and is being held without bond. Masia Griffin, 23, had a warrant and was later arrested after a search warrant was served at a Greenville house with assistance from multiple law-enforcement teams.

What information about the poolroom, the timeline inside it, or witnesses could help clarify how this happened?
