Pierre Pickett, a 24-year-old African American man, was shot and killed on March 7, 2015, in the parking lot of Calendar Girls, a strip club at 16309 U.S. 19 in Hudson, Florida. According to witnesses, Pickett approached a car occupied by Micardo Barnett, 31, and at least one other man because he was upset they were talking to his girlfriend. Pickett drew a handgun and pointed it at the men in the car.

Barnett then drew a weapon and fired at Pickett, continuing to shoot after Pickett was on the ground; Pickett died from the shooting. Barnett and the other men fled the scene and Barnett later discarded the clothes he had been wearing that night. The Pasco County Sheriff’s Office arrested Barnett on a charge of first-degree murder and arrested 28-year-old Conrad Cunningham, who had been in the car, on a charge of being an accessory to first-degree murder. The community was left reeling by the killing and the case moved into the courts.

If anyone knew Pierre, witnessed the shooting, or has information about what happened that night, please come forward.
