Trashawn Watkins was 19 when he was killed on June 14, 2021, in Raleigh, North Carolina. The shooting happened about 10:15 p.m. near the Food Lion on Poole Road as Watkins was walking out of the grocery store. Someone in a white car shot him at least once in the chest; he was taken to WakeMed but died of his injuries.

Investigators arrested 19-year-old Kevin Hart shortly after the incident and charged him with first-degree murder; he was held without bond and told in court that a conviction could bring life in prison or the death penalty. Reported motive centers on an argument over a woman. Witnesses heard several shots and callers to 911 pleaded for help as bystanders tried to keep Watkins breathing while waiting for EMS.

Does anyone who was near Poole Road that night or who knows more about the people involved have information that could help clarify what led up to the shooting?
