A night out in downtown Cape Girardeau ended in a deadly shooting on March 9, 2019. Visitor Edward Palmer, 34, from Memphis, Tennessee, was fatally shot after an argument and ensuing physical fight with another man in front of 2 North Main Street. Witnesses and surveillance footage documented the confrontation and a single gunshot that killed Palmer at the scene.

Investigators from the Cape Girardeau/Bollinger County Case Squad used witness statements and video to identify and arrest 24-year-old Charles Selvy, Jr. He was charged with Second Degree Murder and Armed Criminal Action and jailed with bond set at $750,000. The case description states the shooting culminated from the verbal dispute that turned physical.

Does anyone have information about events outside the bar that night or about the two men’s movements before they left the establishment?
