On the evening of April 3, 2018, Tyrone Rashad Williams, a 33-year-old Black/African American man and community activist, was shot and killed just after 6 p.m. near the intersection of 8th Avenue North and Elwood Avenue North, a few steps from his mother’s front door. Officers found Williams on the sidewalk with a gunshot wound; he was taken to Hennepin County Medical Center and died shortly after arrival. His sister Raeisha witnessed his final moments.

Williams was a father of four, a prominent Black Lives Matter activist who had spoken out after the police killings of Jamar Clark and Philando Castile, and an entrepreneur who founded a clothing line called Black Coalition. Police identified 27-year-old Sid Brady Strickland-Green as a suspect; according to the criminal complaint, the two were seen arguing shortly before the shooting, a witness said Strickland-Green called Williams over, and another witness asked to mediate but left. About 30 minutes after the shooting, Strickland-Green allegedly called a witness, admitted to the shooting, and asked if Williams was still alive. An arrest warrant was issued for Strickland-Green in May 2018, and he was arrested in June 2018 and charged in connection with the killing.

What additional information do readers have about Williams, his activism, or the events that night?
