Elijah Fuquan Roberson, 30, was shot and killed on the evening of March 8, 2020, after a dispute that began at a children’s football game in Kalamazoo, Michigan. The confrontation escalated in the parking lot of the Canterbury Apartments in Oshtemo Township, where Roberson was found with a gunshot wound at about 9:20 p.m.; a different account gives the time as around 1:30 a.m. He was taken to a local hospital and later died of his injuries.

Investigators identified 45-year-old David Lawrence Barnes as a suspect and issued a warrant for his arrest, describing him as armed and dangerous and offering a reward for information leading to his capture. The conflict reportedly began earlier when Roberson intervened in a fight between children at the football game and allegedly struck Barnes’ daughter, a claim Roberson’s fiancée disputes. Later that night Barnes and Roberson’s fiancée met outside the apartments, the men argued, and Roberson was shot; Barnes later said he acted in self-defense.

Did anyone witness the parking lot confrontation or the earlier incident at the football game who has not yet spoken to investigators?
