In the early hours of May 1, 2021, 22-year-old Martez Harrison was killed after a dispute outside a downtown Sioux City bar. The confrontation began as an argument between Harrison and Lawrence Canady. After Harrison called his girlfriend to pick him up, Canady allegedly assaulted her, causing injuries that required medical attention. Harrison interceded, and a physical fight broke out between him and Canady.

During the altercation, 17-year-old Dwight Evans ran across the street and fired a warning shot. When Canady stepped back briefly, Evans approached and shot Harrison in the chest at close range. While Harrison was wounded on the ground, Canady resumed attacking him, kicking and punching his head. Harrison was taken to a local hospital, where he later died. Two suspects were arrested in connection with the killing.

Evans was charged in the shooting and Canady faced assault-related charges. Does anyone have information about Harrison’s final hours or the people who were with him that night?
