Mikell Lamar Sheridan, a 20-year-old African American man from Rocky Mount, North Carolina, was shot and killed on January 6, 2019. Officers responded about 4:40 p.m. to Union Street after ShotSpotter technology detected gunfire; Sheridan was found with gunshot wounds and pronounced dead at the scene.

Four teenagers were arrested in connection with the killing: Khalil Jywon Davis, 18; Tracy Lamont Collins Jr., 18; Shymond Kiheem Williams, 17; and a 15-year-old juvenile. Each was charged with first-degree murder. Collins and Williams were held in Nash County Jail without bond; the juvenile was held in the Wake County Juvenile Detention Center without bond. A cellphone belonging to Collins was recovered at the scene and, according to the trial record, contained text messages and photographs used as evidence. Witness testimony also identified Collins as one of the individuals involved.

Collins was tried and found guilty of first-degree murder; his request to have the charge reduced to second-degree murder was denied. What details about the incident or the defendants does anyone with knowledge of the case think still need clarification?
