Brandon E. Ratliff, 31, was killed in the early hours of Sunday, February 2, 2014, after being struck by a single bullet while trying to mediate a confrontation in the parking lot of the Cockpit Bar & Grill on Berryhill Road in Columbia, South Carolina. He was taken in a private vehicle to Lexington Medical Center, where he was pronounced dead; an autopsy determined the gunshot wound lacerated his heart and ruled the death a homicide.

Authorities identified 23-year-old Gregory L. Brooks as the person who fired the fatal shot. Witnesses said Brooks fired about 10 shots in the area during the dispute. After the shooting, Brooks cut his hair, changed his phone number, and left the state; his girlfriend was charged with attempting to mislead investigators about his whereabouts.

Does anyone have information about that night or saw events around the Cockpit Bar & Grill on February 2, 2014?
