Lawrence Jeffries, 38, was killed in Tacoma, Washington, in the early hours of August 4, 2019. The confrontation grew out of a long-running dispute over the treatment of a woman who had previously dated Jeffries and was then dating Andrew Pointer III. After an earlier fight at a Lake Tapps gathering, the woman called Jeffries for a ride; when he arrived a second confrontation followed. Pointer allegedly lured Jeffries to a residence in the 2000 block of East 44th Street, met him dressed in black with a concealed hand, and shot the unarmed Jeffries twice. Witnesses said Pointer drove over Jeffries as he fled; Jeffries was found in the street, taken to a hospital, and later died of a gunshot wound with injuries consistent with being run over. Pointer was arrested the next day and charged with first-degree murder and unlawful possession of a firearm; a jury later returned verdicts and he received a 40-year sentence.

Did anyone in Tacoma see or hear anything that night that wasn’t reported publicly?
