Savion N. Latimer, a 16-year-old African American male, was killed during a botched robbery in a Beloit parking lot on December 23, 2016. Court records say Savion and friends planned to rob a man of marijuana; Joldany Rodriguez, then 19, drove with Savion and two other 16-year-olds to a parking lot on Hackett Street to set up the transaction. According to those records, both Savion and the intended robbery victim produced firearms, and an exchange of gunfire left Savion fatally wounded; an 18-year-old was also injured.

The investigation led to the arrest of Rodriguez. In July 2017 he pleaded guilty to being party to the crime that resulted in Savion’s death. A Rock County judge sentenced Rodriguez in October 2017 to five years in prison followed by ten years of extended supervision for his role in the events that night.

Are there details about the people present in the parking lot or the sequence of shots that anyone can help clarify?
