A night out at the Somers House Tavern in Kenosha ended in gunfire on April 17–18, 2021, when a dispute involving Rakayo Vinson and patron Kevin Donaldson escalated. Vinson was ejected after a physical fight, returned shortly afterward, and — according to surveillance footage played at trial — went to the patio and opened fire. Three men were killed: 26-year-old Atkeem Stevenson, Cedric Gaston, 24, and Kevin Donaldson, 22. Three other patrons were wounded and survived. Two victims, including Stevenson, were pronounced dead at the scene; Donaldson died later at a hospital after an exchange of gunfire with Vinson outside the tavern.

Police investigators identified and arrested Vinson after he stole a car in Mount Pleasant and was reported by friends; he was charged with three counts of first-degree intentional homicide and three counts of attempted first-degree intentional homicide. A jury found Rakayo Vinson guilty on all charges in January 2022. The Kenosha County District Attorney said a sentence would be sought to prevent Vinson’s release from prison.

If anyone knew Atkeem Stevenson or was at the Somers House Tavern that night, can you share information that might add context to what happened?
