On the evening of May 5, 2021, a dispute over loud music at a QuikTrip on Broadway and Murdock in Wichita, Kansas, escalated and ended with the shooting of 39-year-old Will Robinson. Robinson, a Black man and former Wichita police officer working as a security guard at the downtown store, asked customer Laroy Monzell West to lower his music or leave. West was escorted out but then taunted Robinson across the street, and an altercation in a nearby alley resulted in Robinson being shot in the face.

Robinson, a husband and father of two who had been known for helping the homeless, was taken to the hospital and died two days later on May 7, 2021. Authorities identified Laroy Monzell West as the suspect and arrested him; West claimed self-defense. One witness said Robinson had his hands up before he was shot. The judge later described the killing as a cold-blooded act of shooting Mr. Robinson in the face.

If anyone saw the incident that night or has information about what led up to the altercation at the QuikTrip, please share what you know.
