Samuel Sam Witherspoon was 21 when he was fatally shot at a house party in Duluth, Minnesota, on March 28, 1994. The party had been a 21st birthday celebration when violence erupted and three young men were killed: Samuel Witherspoon, Peter Moore, 21, and Keith Hermanson, 20.

He drove more than 20 miles to his family home, retrieved a .44 caliber revolver, returned to the party and opened fire. After killing the three men he continued firing into an upstairs bedroom before two men managed to disarm him. Warren fled but was arrested shortly afterward.

Warren was convicted in 1995 on three counts of first-degree premeditated murder and sentenced to 50 years. Doug Towle was later convicted of aiding and abetting manslaughter for his role that night. Does anyone have memories of Samuel or the others from Duluth in 1994, or information that could add context to what happened that night?
