Justin Allen Wiley, a 22-year-old Black man, was killed in Erie, Pennsylvania, in the early minutes of July 2, 2015, after a confrontation prosecutors later portrayed as the violent end of an ongoing dispute. Police were called about 12:20 a.m. to West 19th and Chestnut Streets and found Wiley unresponsive in the driver’s seat of a silver Pontiac Grand Am that had come to rest in a yard. He had been shot in the back of the head; the autopsy listed a single gunshot wound to the back of the head as the cause of death.

Scene evidence showed multiple shots had been fired: a shattered driver’s-side window, bullet holes in the rear driver’s-side door, and a bullet hole in the siding of a nearby house.

Prosecutors described a prior dispute between Carson and Wiley, including an earlier incident involving a thrown bottle and an alleged May 31 shooting report by Wiley. Witnesses placed men near a disabled vehicle by the intersection shortly before the shooting; one witness said a man showed her a small gun and threatened to kill Wiley. Carson was arrested, tried, and convicted of first-degree murder and related offenses; he received life plus additional prison terms. Does anyone have information about Wiley’s last movements that night or about the men seen near West 19th and Chestnut?
