Philip R. Brunson, 26, was shot in the chest and killed outside the Corner Pocket Night Club on Goff Avenue in Orangeburg, South Carolina, on a Saturday in July 2014. Reports describe an altercation inside the club and say Brunson was removed; what happened next is disputed.

One account says the club owner, 69-year-old James Williams, followed Brunson outside and shot him in the abdomen. Williams, a retired New York corrections officer who had lived in Orangeburg about two decades, told investigators he acted after Brunson tried to re-enter the club with a pistol and fired at a glass door, and another witness described a struggle in which Williams gained control of a weapon and shot Brunson.

Williams was arrested and charged with murder and possession of a weapon during the commission of a violent crime and was due to make an initial court appearance the Saturday after the shooting. Who can help clarify what happened that night?
