On the morning of July 28, 2022, 28-year-old Chante Lamar Williams of Saint Paul was fatally shot outside a downtown Minneapolis bar in the 300 block of 1st Avenue North. The shooting happened about 1:30 a.m.; Williams was pronounced dead at the scene after sustaining seven gunshot wounds to his back and neck. Two other people were seriously wounded and survived.

Surveillance video shows Williams approach a man in an SUV identified as Cleveland C. Longmire. Another man, identified as Casey Jermar Davis, then appears and behaves threateningly. Williams is seen holding a handgun but reportedly makes no overt threats. Video and investigators say Longmire fired two to three shots toward the ground near Williams, then Davis opened fire with a .40 caliber Glock modified with an auto sear; Davis allegedly photographed Williams’ body before fleeing. Police described the attack as gang-related.

Longmire was charged in connection with the incident. If anyone has information about Williams, his movements that night, or the people involved, please share what you know.
