In the early hours of July 18, 2023, 27-year-old Markayla Sadler was shot and killed after a dispute at a party store in Livonia, Michigan. The argument began inside the store at about 12:53 a.m., then spilled into the parking lot where the verbal exchange between Sadler and 24-year-old Lania Julieah Conn of Detroit became physical. Conn allegedly produced a handgun and fired, striking Sadler in the head. Sadler, a resident of Redford, was pronounced dead at the scene; she left behind a young son.

Following the shooting, Conn and a male companion fled and were wounded when an acquaintance of Sadler — 25-year-old Cory Leniel Campbell of Detroit — reportedly returned fire. Conn and her companion sustained non-life-threatening injuries and were treated at a hospital. Conn was arrested and charged with second-degree murder and felony firearm; Campbell was charged with carrying a concealed weapon after his license was found to be expired.

What information might help clarify how the confrontation began and who was present in the store that night?
