On April 16, 2019, a drug deal on a street in Burlington’s Old North End ended in an ambush and a deadly shootout that left 23-year-old Benzell Daravious Hampton dead at the scene. Reports say Hampton, identified as Black / African American, was struck at least six times by gunfire from two different guns, with fatal wounds to his head and chest; an autopsy recovered three .380 caliber bullets from his body.

Investigators quickly identified several people connected to the attack. James Felix and Johnny Ford were named as two individuals directly involved. Two of the suspects were later arrested in Connecticut, and several others were taken into custody. Two women, Angelina Pearson-Fitzpatrick and Takesha Thomas, were charged with accessory after the fact for arranging transportation and hotel rooms for the suspects and disposing of clothing used in the incident.

What information do readers have about the April 16 meeting in the Old North End or the people seen in that area around the time of the shooting?
