On a Sunday morning in April 2016, a dispute over a reserved seat at the 11 a.m. service of Keystone Fellowship Church in North Wales, Pennsylvania, escalated into a fatal shooting. Twenty-seven-year-old Robert Braxton III became agitated after being told he was sitting in a reserved seat; after a verbal exchange and brief physical contact, another church member, 46-year-old Mark Storms, confronted Braxton, produced a concealed weapons permit badge and ordered him to leave. Witnesses say Braxton punched Storms, who then drew a 9mm handgun and fired two shots, striking Braxton in the chest and right arm. Braxton was taken to a hospital and pronounced dead less than an hour later; an autopsy found multiple gunshot wounds as the cause of death.

Storms was arrested and charged with voluntary manslaughter and reckless endangerment. Prosecutors said he had unnecessarily escalated the confrontation and approached Braxton with his hand on a holstered weapon. In November 2016 a jury found Mark Storms guilty; in April the judge sentenced him to 10 to 20 years in state prison, noting Storms appeared to see himself as a hero who improperly intervened.

Did anyone attend that service or know Braxton well enough to share what led to the confrontation?
