On September 11, 2020, 49-year-old Stephen Magruder was shot and killed inside a residence in the 700 block of 51st Street Northeast, Washington, D.C. Police found Magruder suffering from a gunshot wound; he was pronounced dead at the scene. Reports say the confrontation began over about five dollars tied to a marijuana transaction and that a single shot to the chest proved fatal.

Authorities identified Magruder’s son, then 29-year-old Stephon Williams, as the suspect. Williams was arrested the same day and charged in connection with the killing. During court proceedings, his defense raised a history of abuse by Magruder; Williams testified he believed he was in danger and that the shooting was not intentional. The case went to trial, with jurors considering conflicting accounts of the family’s relationship.
