Winston Downing, 24, was fatally shot outside King’s Super Store at 912 Division Street in Atchison on the evening of September 9, 2015. The shooting, about 6:00 p.m., followed an altercation in the store’s parking lot. Downing was a father of three and remembered in his community for riding a moped, his constant smile and willingness to help others.

Authorities quickly identified a suspect, 19-year-old Terell Dixon, who was believed to have known Downing. Dixon fled the scene on foot and was located and arrested the next day, September 10, 2015, in Henry County, Missouri, by the Clinton, Missouri Police Department. He was held on an Atchison County warrant for second-degree murder after a brief foot pursuit near a treeline.
