When officers arrived, they found Fillmore Burriss deceased, lying in the street suffering from an apparent gunshot wound.

As the investigation progressed numerous eyewitnesses to the incident were interviewed. The witnesses advised Mr. Burriss had an argument with three unknown males about being videoed. It was at that time one of the males produced a handgun and shot him during the altercation. The suspect-shooter was positively identified by witnesses as Khiry Queen.
