William Allen Beverly Jr., a 15-year-old from Springfield, Ohio, was shot and killed on November 5, 2017, at a Speedway gas station in the early morning. Police found him lying near the cashier’s counter with gunshot wounds to his upper right shoulder and back right side; he was pronounced dead at the scene.

The shooting involved Timothy Reed, who said he fired two shots in self-defense after being approached by Beverly and another man. Reed reported that Beverly reached into his car and struck him, and a grand jury later concluded Reed had a reasonable belief his life was in danger, voting unanimously not to indict him on any charges. Beverly’s mother, Mandy Jackson, said her son was unarmed and continued to seek answers and justice. The community held a vigil attended by dozens to remember Beverly and call for an end to violence.

What information do readers in Springfield or anyone who was at the scene have that could shed light on what happened that morning?
