Willie Thompson Jr., 26, was shot and killed on May 20, 2015, in Burlington, North Carolina. The shooting took place in the early morning at the CV Mart on North Church Street after an altercation involving Thompson, James T. Withers, and other unknown individuals. Officers arriving on scene heard several gunshots and observed multiple vehicles fleeing; one stopped vehicle contained a wounded passenger, Withers, who was taken to Alamance Regional Medical Center. Thompson arrived at the same hospital by private vehicle and was pronounced dead from a gunshot wound to the chest.

Investigators later sought and obtained arrest warrants charging 21-year-old Decarlos Barnes with first-degree murder in connection with Thompson’s death; Barnes was located by the United States Marshals Service in Washington, D.C., and held without bond pending extradition. Talisha Ann Harrison, 24, was arrested and charged with accessory after the fact of first-degree murder and held in the Alamance County jail under a $1,000,000 secured bond. The motive and the full relationships among those involved remained unclear at the time.

Did anyone who knew Willie or who was near CV Mart that morning see anything that could help fill the gaps in the timeline?
