On the afternoon of June 10, 2016, 16-year-old JMari Frankwon Harris was shot and killed at the intersection of Leahy Street and Holbrook Avenue in Muskegon, Michigan. His body was found about 6:30 p.m. near Moon Elementary School. Friends and family remembered him as a young man with a bright future, and his death deeply affected the local community.

Police identified two teenage suspects early in the investigation. Amir Petty, 17 at the time, was initially charged with armed robbery, and 16-year-old Gary Johnson was charged with carrying a concealed weapon. Prosecutors later elevated both sets of charges; in January 2017 the Muskegon County Prosecutor’s Office filed manslaughter charges, stating investigators believed the gun discharged accidentally while the three teenagers wrestled over the weapon. Both teens were arraigned in juvenile court and released on GPS tethers.

Does anyone who knew JMari or was in that neighborhood on June 10, 2016 have information that could shed light on what happened?
