Cedric D. Gaston, 24, of Kenosha, Wisconsin, was killed in a mass shooting at the Somers House Tavern on April 18, 2021. The shooting began about 12:42 a.m. after a suspect, identified as 24-year-old Rakayo Alandis Vinson, was asked to leave for uncooperative behavior. Vinson allegedly returned and opened fire; two other Kenosha men died, Kevin Donaldson, 22, and Atkeen Stevenson, 26.

A scuffle had occurred between the suspect and the victims before Vinson was ejected. Two victims were shot inside the tavern; a third got into a car with two others and later died of his injuries. Vinson was arrested, charged with one count of first-degree intentional homicide, held in the Kenosha County Jail, and additional charges were pending while investigators examined whether multiple shooters were involved.

Gaston was a father to a baby daughter and a young son and is remembered by family and friends. Does anyone have information about that night at the Somers House Tavern that could help clarify events or identify witnesses?
