Tayvon Luckett, a 24-year-old Black man and father of eight, was shot and killed outside a gas station convenience store near Fond du Lac and Locust in Milwaukee on April 14, 2022. He had just bought pizza rolls and was leaving the store when he was shot; three of his children were present that night. Security cameras at the gas station were not working, so investigators relied on eyewitness testimony, including from Luckett’s girlfriend, who said the two men appeared to exchange a handshake moments before the shooting.

The investigation focused on Kenneth Twyman, who fled the scene and was later located and arrested in Oak Creek by U.S. Marshals after a three-month manhunt. At trial Twyman admitted to shooting Luckett but said he acted in self-defense, claiming a dispute over $150 from a past cocaine transaction and testifying that Luckett was holding a gun and threatened him. A jury in March 2023 rejected the self-defense claim and convicted Twyman of first-degree reckless homicide; a judge sentenced him to 35 years in state prison with 15 years of extended supervision to follow.

Did anyone who was at the gas station that night notice anything else about the interaction between Luckett and the shooter?
