Kendrith Young, a 32-year-old Black man from Madison, Wisconsin, was shot and killed on August 2, 2017, inside a south-side 7-Eleven. Two masked men entered the store and fired multiple shots; the Dane County Medical Examiner ruled Young’s cause of death multiple gunshot wounds. A man who was with Young survived but was also wounded.

Investigation of surveillance footage from the 7-Eleven and a nearby bar identified two suspects: Dametrius Reeves, then 35, and Curtis Langlois, then 37. Authorities say Langlois was the shooter who killed Young and wounded the other man. Both men were arrested, convicted for their roles in the killing, and received life sentences without parole. Langlois was given an additional 40-year term for the attempted homicide of the surviving victim; court reporting noted he laughed while footage of the shooting played and made a threat that led to his removal from the courtroom.

Young was remembered by family as a devoted father, son, brother, and fiancé; court testimony included a letter from his 12-year-old daughter recalling a last happy night with her father. Does anyone have memories of Kendrith or information about the events that night to add to the record?
