On the evening of August 13, 2017, a mass shooting at the Great Lakes Dragaway in Union Grove, Wisconsin, during Larry’s Fun Fest left three men dead. Khalid R. Howard, 30, of Union Grove, was standing near a food vendor with two men from Illinois when a lone gunman approached and opened fire at point-blank range. Howard and Derek K. Edwards, 26, were pronounced dead at the scene; David L. Watson, 30, died in an ambulance en route to the hospital.

Authorities described the attack as deliberate and said the victims were known gang members from the Aurora, Illinois area, indicating a likely gang-related motive. Investigators released a suspect description: a Black man in his 20s, thin and athletic, wearing blue jean shorts and a black hoodie. The shooter remained at large and the FBI offered up to $25,000 for information leading to an arrest.

If anyone was at Larry’s Fun Fest that night or has information about the suspect or the events near the food vendor, please come forward.
