Ronnie Davis, 30, was shot and killed on July 21, 2013, on Seyburn Street in Detroit after a dispute over a curbside parking space. Neighbors treated certain spots as effectively reserved, and Davis had been waiting in his car for the space he typically used when the confrontation with neighbor Gregory Midgyett unfolded.

Midgyett told police and jurors that the argument escalated and that he fired because he believed Davis pointed a gun at him. No firearm belonging to Davis was recovered, and no witness testified to seeing Davis holding a gun. A Wayne County jury rejected the self-defense claim, convicting Midgyett of second-degree murder and multiple firearms offenses; the jury-recorded offense date is July 21, 2013, and sentencing occurred February 11, 2015. The Michigan Court of Appeals later upheld the convictions, and state prison records show Midgyett incarcerated with an earliest release date decades away.

Did anyone in the neighborhood see how the confrontation began or notice a weapon that night?
