Nicholas Alan Blue was 40 when he was shot and killed while working at the AutoZone on South Oliver in Wichita, Kansas, on the evening of July 26, 2020. Described as a friendly man who loved sports and had recently been promoted to manager, he lived with his mother and was planning a career in criminal justice. He was shot once in the head during a robbery while two other employees were in the store and no customers were present.

Police released surveillance images showing the suspect in a distinctive stars-and-stripes hoodie. A tip from a family who saw a man matching that description struggling to run in heavy clothing and then getting into a green Kia Soul led investigators to a vehicle and to an arrest. The suspect, 18-year-old Lamontae D. Lucas, was charged with second-degree intentional murder and three counts of attempted aggravated robbery; he later pleaded guilty and received a 22-year, three-month prison sentence.

Did anyone who knew Nicholas or who was in that neighborhood on July 26, 2020, see anything that might help fill gaps in the timeline that night?
