Chonce R. Acey, 28, was shot on January 10, 2016, outside the C-Town Market in Allentown, Pennsylvania. He was found along the road or in the parking lot area near the grocery store, taken to a hospital, and died of his injuries. Authorities reported the killing as Allentown’s first homicide of 2016.

Investigators said the shooting grew out of a drug transaction that went wrong. Surveillance video captured the encounter, and prosecutors described the fatal confrontation as tied to a botched deal and a fight. The incident also prompted attempted-homicide allegations involving another victim or intended victim.

Within days, authorities identified Ulric Daron McKenzie as the suspect. McKenzie was charged with criminal homicide, attempted criminal homicide, and a firearms offense, and prosecutors said he was apprehended by U.S. Marshals in the Bronx on January 15, 2016, and returned to Lehigh County to face charges. Reports noted Acey had prior connections to other criminal matters, but officials said there was no evidence those older matters motivated the killing.

Did anyone in the area see the confrontation outside C-Town Market or have information about the people involved that day?
