Arbie Leedester Wilson Jr. was 21 when he was shot and killed in the early morning hours of November 22, 2014, after an altercation at the Red Tomato Lounge on East 18th and Peach streets in Erie, Pennsylvania. Reports say the dispute involved Wilson and two other men, Keith Horton and Jameele Williams, and that Horton and Williams pursued Wilson after the confrontation. The chase ended in the drive-thru lane of a closed bank, where Wilson was shot.

Both Horton and Williams were arrested. In their initial trials they were acquitted of the most serious homicide charge, but the cases continued. Williams was retried in February and convicted of firearms offenses and reckless endangerment, receiving a sentence of seven years and three months to fifteen years and six months. Horton’s first trial on voluntary manslaughter and aggravated assault ended with a hung jury; a second trial produced convictions for voluntary manslaughter, possessing an instrument of a crime, recklessly endangering another person, and aggravated assault, and those convictions were later upheld on appeal.

Does anyone have memories of that night near East 18th and Peach or information about the events that led up to the altercation?
