On the evening of January 8, 2008, in Brockton, Massachusetts, 24-year-old Adilson Pires was shot and killed after a confrontation outside a liquor store. Pires had gone into the store with two companions; inside, he asked Shane Bester to step outside to speak. After buying two beers, Pires and his friends joined Bester in the parking lot and an argument started. Pires accused Bester of having stabbed him previously; Bester denied the claim. Witnesses said the exchange did not reach yelling but was tense.

Bester fled the scene and went to Florida but was arrested a few days later and returned to Massachusetts. He was convicted of second-degree murder by a jury in Plymouth Superior Court on January 17, 2010, and received a life sentence with the possibility of parole, plus a concurrent sentence for unlicensed firearm possession.

Who has information about Adilson Pires, his movements that night, or the events leading up to the confrontation?
