Among the gang-related slayings was the one witnessed by Nutall — the killing of Deon Freeman on March 21, 2012. According to his sister, Nutall had left a liquor store and was chatting with friends not far from Johnny's Food Mart. Authorities said Nutall saw Jamony Nunley walk up behind Freeman as he stepped from the convenience store and shoot him in the back of the head. Nutall said Nunley ran across Ashland into an abandoned building in the 1500 block of West 72nd Street, authorities said.
