On the night of July 3–4, 2017, in Muskegon, Michigan, an altercation between Kahlek Amere-Rahsheek McPherson and the brother of Corey Thompson escalated into a fatal shooting. Corey Thompson, 44 and a father of seven, was on a Sanford Street front porch when McPherson and two others located him. McPherson shot Thompson once in the head at close range; Thompson died on the porch.

McPherson was already awaiting trial on an unrelated criminal sexual conduct charge when suspicion fell on him in Thompson’s killing. He was charged on March 22, 2018, with open murder, felony firearm, and being a felon in possession of a firearm. At trial, a woman who had been with McPherson testified that he admitted the shooting, and McPherson reportedly made a further admission to family members as the guilty verdict was read. The jury convicted him of first-degree murder and he received life without parole.

Did anyone in the Muskegon area have contact with Corey Thompson in the days before July 4, 2017, or remember seeing him that night?
