Tony Dawayne Martin was 19 and a rising track and field star from Saginaw, Michigan, when he was killed on the night of July 19, 2020. Martin had broken a 45-year-old long jump record at Saginaw High School and competed for Michigan State University. He was standing in the parking lot of a Sunoco gas station during a gathering when gunfire erupted.

Also killed was 22-year-old Ricky H. Morgan; a 25-year-old woman was wounded but survived. Investigators say the shooting followed a prior argument between Ricky Morgan and Roderick Dewayne Barnes Jr., and that Martin was not the initial target but was with Morgan when Barnes opened fire. Barnes was arrested and charged in the double homicide.

What details about that night or the people present might help clarify how the confrontation escalated?
