Marquis Johnson, 24, of Coatesville, Pennsylvania, was shot and killed after a verbal dispute in Norristown on a Tuesday night in June 2016. The argument began inside a BP gas station and continued outside; witnesses said Johnson ran from two people and was struck as he reached the drive-thru lane of a nearby McDonald’s, collapsing by the restaurant’s outdoor message board. Police arrived shortly after 11:30 p.m. and found him with multiple gunshot wounds to his torso; he was pronounced dead at the scene.

Norristown Police and Montgomery County detectives identified 22-year-old Jonathan Walker as a suspect and charged him in connection with Johnson’s death. Walker was charged with first-degree and third-degree murder and possession of an instrument of a crime; a jury later convicted him of third-degree murder and the possession charge. At sentencing Walker expressed remorse to Johnson’s family while maintaining he did not start the confrontation and believed Johnson was armed; his attorney cited his difficult upbringing and lack of prior record.

Did anyone in the Norristown area see the confrontation at the BP that led to this shooting or recognize the people involved?
