David Clint Watson, 27, of Bessemer City, North Carolina, was fatally shot at least twice in the chest outside a mobile home near Bessemer City on the morning of July 30, 2016. He was the son of David Howard Watson Jr. and Dawn Bridges Andrews and was survived by a daughter, Ambreal Watson, and several siblings.

Court testimony described a confrontation that began when a panicked friend of Watson’s ex-boyfriend knocked on the mobile home’s doors. Naijii Salik Boyd, 25, of Burlington, was identified as the alleged shooter. Prosecutors said Boyd arrived with a semi-automatic .380-caliber Smith & Wesson pistol and shot Watson after Watson, hands raised, asked him to leave; Boyd’s defense argued self-defense. Boyd was later convicted of voluntary manslaughter and received a prison term, with additional time for related charges.

Does anyone have information about the events that led up to the confrontation that morning or knew Watson or his family?
