Anthony Flowers, 22, was fatally shot on March 6, 2014, at the corner of Avon Avenue and South 11th Street in Newark, New Jersey. The shooting grew out of a dispute that began when Flowers found a woman’s driver’s license and tried to return it for a small reward. His brother went to return the ID and was confronted by Wali Williams, who was related to the ID owner. An altercation between Williams and Flowers’ brother prompted Anthony and another brother to seek Williams, and during that confrontation shots were fired. Flowers was struck by two gunshot wounds and later pronounced dead.

Wali Williams, then 32 and newly released from prison, was arrested and charged in connection with the killing; two other men, Laquan Dwight, 29, of Irvington, and Dennis Russell, 35, of Newark, were charged as co-defendants. An Essex County jury acquitted Williams of murder but convicted him of conspiracy to commit murder, a conviction carrying a 10-to-20-year sentence.

Who knew Anthony or was in that neighborhood that night and can help shed light on what happened?
