Twelve witnesses are listed in the case involving Kylen Jamal Gregory, court records show. Two teens told the court earlier this year they were with Gregory when he fired a shot that officials said struck Ronnie Bowers in the head as the 16-year-old drove away from a confrontation around 9 p.m. that night on Willowdale Avenue.

The shooting occurred shortly after Bowers and friends left AlterFest, where police said an ongoing “beef” rekindled between them and Gregory’s friends. Bowers died two days later in what was ruled Kettering’s first gun-related homicide since 2007.
