In the early hours of Sunday, January 29, 2017, a dispute over pay inside the Blue Sunday Bar and Grill in Bowie, Maryland, escalated into a deadly attack that left three men dead. Sherwood Morgan, 46, a manager at the newly opened restaurant, was critically wounded at the scene and later died at a local hospital. The other victims were co-owners Jin Chen, 27, and Xue Zou, 28.

Surveillance footage from inside the restaurant showed the violence unfold. Police identified a disgruntled bartender, Karlief Moye, 40, as the primary suspect after learning he had been involved in an ongoing dispute with management about his compensation. Officers located Moye in a wooded area in Silver Spring; he shot himself twice but survived and was taken into custody. He was charged with three counts of first-degree murder, and in November 2018 pleaded guilty and received three consecutive life sentences. Family members, including Morgan’s mother and brother, delivered impact statements about their loss at sentencing.

Did anyone know Sherwood Morgan, his role at the restaurant, or have information about the dispute with staff that preceded the killings?
