On the evening of July 20, 2016, a neighbor dispute in Kansas City, Kansas ended with the death of 40-year-old William Rodella-Mecino. The confrontation escalated into a heated argument that attracted others, including Nicholas Alexander Miller.

Rodella-Mecino allegedly produced a pistol and held it at his side. Miller reportedly retrieved an AR-15 from a vehicle, demanded Rodella-Mecino drop his weapon, left the scene briefly, then returned to the rear of Rodella-Mecino’s property. From the porch area Miller fired his rifle, striking Rodella-Mecino, who was taken to a hospital and later died of his injuries. Miller was arrested and, as of March 15, 2018, a jury found him guilty of second-degree murder.

Are there readers who knew William Rodella-Mecino or who can add details about the neighborhood and what led up to that evening?
