On the evening of Sunday, May 7, 2017, 20-year-old Harry Thomas Canady Jr., a Black man from Racine, Wisconsin, was shot while sitting on a porch near the intersection of Memorial Drive and Winslow Street. Canady had been waiting for a ride when a confrontation began; a witness who had driven the suspect to the scene later told police the dispute was over money. The witness said the suspect, identified as 25-year-old Dominique Knight, poked Canady in the face, demanded his money, then produced a gun and shot Canady. Canady was taken to Ascension All-Saints Hospital but died of his injuries.

Police publicly identified Knight as the suspect and warned he should be considered armed and dangerous. By August 2017 Knight was in custody and charged with first-degree intentional homicide with use of a dangerous weapon and possession of a firearm by a felon; a cash bond was set at $500,000. A relative of Canady was later arrested on an alleged retaliatory incident involving a handgun. Does anyone have information about Canady’s last movements or the people involved that could help clarify what happened that night?
