On April 4, 2020, 19-year-old Lawrence Jones was shot and killed inside a vehicle at a Citgo gas station near Green Bay Avenue and Cornell Street in Milwaukee. Jones, an African American male, was sitting in the front passenger seat when another man approached the car and, after a brief conversation captured on surveillance video, got into the back seat. A witness said the man had come to buy marijuana and then reportedly produced a firearm and announced a robbery. The witness handed over his marijuana.

According to the witness, Jones drew a handgun from his waistband and a volley of five or six shots followed; Jones was struck twice and found dead in the passenger seat. Police recovered a firearm between the front seats and several fired casings. The man who entered the car was seen on video leaving with a limp and driving away in a red Jeep; he was later involved in a crash and found unconscious with a gunshot wound to his chest.

What further information can anyone who was at the Citgo that day or who knows the people involved provide to investigators?
