Alonte Demir Broadus-Hickem, 21, was fatally shot on the evening of August 1, 2020, in an alley in Deep Ellum, Dallas. Officers were called at about 8:30 p.m. to the 2800 block of July Alley, behind a hostel, where Alonte was found on the ground with multiple gunshot wounds. He was taken to a local hospital and died of his injuries.

Born December 8, 1998, in Columbia, Missouri, Alonte worked as a warehouse associate at Plexus in Dallas and was pursuing fashion styling and health coaching. He loved basketball and had planned to attend Dallas Christian College to play for the Crusaders in the fall. Family and friends described him as friendly, musical, and close to his loved ones.

The Dallas Police Department investigated the shooting, offered a reward for information, and the investigation led to the arrest of Tramon Leontra Montrell Williams on a charge of murder. Did anyone in Deep Ellum that night see anything that could help clarify what happened?
