On the evening of December 11, 2019, 45-year-old Dattreas Markeal Stewart of Brooklyn Center was shot and killed at a Pump n’ Munch gas station on 69th Avenue North. Stewart was a passenger in a Chevy Blazer driven by his girlfriend. They had arranged a meeting at the station so the girlfriend could sell an ounce of marijuana for $300 to a man she knew as Giovanni.

A Chrysler 200 pulled up beside the Blazer and a man later identified as 24-year-old Giovanni Williams got into the back seat. According to court accounts, Williams asked to smell the marijuana, then announced a robbery and pulled a handgun. Williams admitted his intention was to rob Stewart and said he shot Stewart once in the head after Stewart drew his own gun. Williams fled with a bag of marijuana; Stewart was pronounced dead at the scene.

Surveillance video and a witness helped identify Williams, who was arrested in Brooklyn Park and charged with second-degree murder. In September 2020 Williams pleaded guilty to intentional second-degree murder and received a 20-year prison sentence.

Did anyone in the area witness the meeting at the gas station or recognize the Chrysler 200?
