Keimauri Rogers was a 17-year-old African American male who was shot and killed outside a home in Willis, Texas, on February 3, 2022. Authorities say Sherman Dewayne Griffin III, 25, shot Rogers four times; Rogers died at the scene. Griffin told police he shot Rogers because he believed Rogers was armed and intended to shoot him, but investigators later found Rogers was unarmed.

The two men had a history of tension, and Griffin alleged Rogers had attempted to rob him in August 2021, which family and court testimony described as leading to further confrontations. During the subsequent prosecution, testimony from the Willis Police Department and the Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office included Griffin’s prior contacts related to drugs and gun violence. On January 26, 2023, a Montgomery County jury convicted Griffin of murder and he received a 75-year sentence.

Did anyone in Willis know Keimauri or have information about the disputes between him and Griffin?
