Zio Treyshaun Gaither, a 20-year-old African American man, was shot and killed on June 8, 2021, during a shootout along Williams Road in west Statesville, North Carolina. Gaither was in a car with two other men when the meeting meant to resolve a prior disagreement turned into what court documents describe as an ambush.

Tyrell Dontaye Daniels, 34, also known as Lil Buckey, was identified as the shooter. Daniels, who has an extensive criminal record including multiple felony and misdemeanor convictions, fled the scene and was later arrested in Georgia about three months after the killing. He was charged in connection with Gaither’s death and later pleaded guilty to voluntary manslaughter. Daniels was sentenced to up to seven years and nine months in prison.

Are there details about the June 8 meetup or the other occupants in the vehicle that anyone can provide to help clarify what happened?
