Gerald Lee Bishop II, 31, was shot and killed on June 11, 2016, and found dead in a cul-de-sac on Larry Place in Columbus, Ohio. Bishop worked as a coach for Midwest Magic Allstars Cheer and Dance and had earlier cheered for Ohio State University; his death was described as a devastating loss to the team, athletes and community he mentored.

Witnesses identified 21-year-old Dalon Laquan Smoot as the shooter; he was captured after fleeing the scene and was indicted by a Franklin County Grand Jury on aggravated murder, murder, aggravated robbery, tampering with evidence and weapon under disability, with Repeat Violent Offender specifications noted because of a recent aggravated robbery conviction and release from prison 25 days before the killing. Smoot was arraigned on June 22, 2016, and his family has maintained his innocence, saying the main witness has a personal vendetta.

Are there witnesses or community members who knew Gerald Bishop II or who have information about the events on June 11, 2016?
