Calvin Louis Blackshire Jr., 27, was shot and killed on January 19, 2017, at a Motel 6 in Fayetteville, North Carolina. The shooting occurred just before midnight; he was pronounced dead at Cape Fear Valley Medical Center. About a 10-minute livestream captured people standing over Blackshire as others took photos and recorded his final moments. Police said the person who livestreamed was not involved in the killing and would not face charges.

Investigators described the incident as likely a robbery gone wrong and appealed to the public for help identifying the killer. Authorities believed Blackshire had been meeting someone at the motel that night, but that person’s identity was not known. In April 2018, arrest warrants were issued for four people — Adam Bradley Scott Golden, Elvin Freeman Morrison, Iona Deja Shameka Thomas, and Yasheika Zikyra West — on charges including first-degree murder, robbery with a dangerous weapon, and conspiracy to commit robbery with a dangerous weapon; Golden was already in custody on unrelated charges at that time.

Does anyone have information about who Calvin was meeting that night or about the events inside the motel room?
