On the night of November 1, 2010, a house party in the 1300 block of North College Street in South Bend, Indiana, ended in gunfire. Nineteen-year-old William Williams, a South Bend resident and identified member of the gang 187, was struck in the torso and pronounced dead at the scene.

Witnesses said a male emerged from behind a neighboring home and opened fire. Investigators linked the shooting to gang rivalry, identifying Javon Thomas, a member of the rival Cash Out Boyz, as the suspect; Thomas reportedly believed Williams had been involved in an earlier shooting at a Cash Out Boyz party. Thomas was charged with murder on February 19, 2013, and a jury found him guilty on June 11, 2014, also applying the Criminal Gang Sentencing Enhancement.

Thomas testified was reported to have confessed to the driver who brought him to the party, and he received lengthy prison terms for the murder and the gang enhancement. Did anyone at that party or in the neighborhood see or hear details that could shed more light on what happened that night?
