On the evening of July 19, 2019, 16-year-old Quay Felton was shot on a street in north Minneapolis near Colfax Avenue North and 30th Avenue North. Around 5:30 p.m. gunfire erupted; Quay was found lying on the street with a gunshot wound to his head and was taken to North Memorial Medical Center, where he died later that evening. His family said he had some past gang involvement but had recently started a new job and they had been worried for his safety because of threats.

Minneapolis homicide detectives recovered dash camera footage from a nearby parked vehicle that showed two people on bicycles as the shooters. Witnesses, including a friend who had been with Quay, identified the assailants; one witness saw a suspect reach into a fanny pack just before the shooting. The suspects were identified as 20-year-old Andre Owens and 23-year-old Shannon Blackman. Both were charged with second-degree murder; Andre Owens was arrested on August 15, 2019, and later pleaded guilty and was sentenced. Did anyone in north Minneapolis see or hear anything that night that could add detail to what happened?
