Michael J. Stadler, 28, was killed in a road-rage shooting in Topeka, Kansas, on the evening of October 8, 2016. Stadler was a passenger in a van when occupants of his vehicle and another car exchanged words and rude gestures; shots were fired from the other vehicle and Stadler was struck and later died of his injuries. He was remembered as a passionate skateboarder with a vibrant personality.

Investigators identified 23-year-old Andre Clark Rhoiney Jr. as the shooter. He was arrested a few days later on a Greyhound bus in West Virginia; officers found a pistol hidden near his seat and learned he had initially given a false identity. After an initial trial ended in a hung jury, a retrial produced testimony from co-defendant Daniel Askew that Rhoiney fired two shots at the van intending to scare the occupants. A jury found Rhoiney guilty of first-degree murder and he was sentenced to life in prison with no possibility of parole for 25 years. The conviction was upheld by the Kansas Supreme Court.

Did anyone in Topeka at the time see the vehicles involved or hear the confrontation that night?
