A dispute that began inside a bar ended with the fatal shooting of 25-year-old Zaire Williams on March 2, 2020. The incident started at the Johnny Walker Bar in Philadelphia and continued onto the 1800 block of West Montgomery Avenue, where a fistfight occurred. Williams reportedly won the physical fight and was then shot in the head. He was taken to a hospital and later died. A gun was recovered at the scene.

Police announced an arrest on March 9, 2020, when 22-year-old Anthony Nieves was taken into custody and charged with murder, aggravated assault, simple assault, and related offenses. Williams had been a running back at Timber Creek High School in Sicklerville, New Jersey, played for Temple University from 2013 to 2015, and later transferred to the University of Maine. Former teammates and coaches remembered him as upbeat and positive, and a candlelight vigil was held at his high school.

Does anyone have information about the events that night or knew Zaire and can help fill in what happened?
