Rodrick Randle Alexander, a 32-year-old African American man, was fatally shot on July 14, 2014, outside the Sugar Shack club at 5110 N. 40th St. in Tampa. The shooting happened around 1:30 AM after an altercation began inside the club and continued outside. Alexander was taken to St. Joseph’s Hospital and died later that day.

Witnesses identified 50-year-old Calvin Lewis as the shooter. Lewis, who had prior arrests noted for charges including grand theft of a firearm and drug possession, was located with assistance from the U.S. Marshals Fugitive Task Force and was charged with first-degree murder in Alexander’s death.

What details about the confrontation inside the club or its aftermath might help explain how it escalated to lethal violence, and can anyone who was at the Sugar Shack that night provide further information?
