De Ashay Thompson, 24, was fatally shot in the early hours of March 14, 2020, at a Phillips 66 on Lafayette Street in South Bend, Indiana. Police and witnesses say she sustained a single gunshot wound after an altercation broke out at about 2:30 a.m.; surveillance video and witness statements showed a man brandishing a handgun and firing multiple times before fleeing the scene in a red Monte Carlo. Thompson was taken to a hospital and later pronounced dead.

Investigators identified 31-year-old Anthony Malone, also known as Anthony Wilbourn, as the primary suspect from the video and witness IDs. He was charged with murder and a firearm sentencing enhancement on March 23, 2020, and was located and arrested after a vehicle pursuit on April 13, 2020. At trial in August 2021, the jury convicted Malone of reckless homicide; in September 2021 he received a 21-year sentence composed of six years for reckless homicide and 15 years for the firearm enhancement, with credit for almost 500 days already served. A civil suit was also filed against the gas station owner alleging negligence related to the large uncontrolled gathering.

Does anyone have information about the crowd or the events at that gas station that night?
