In the early morning hours of Saturday, December 10, 2016, Eric Turner, a bouncer at the Cream Sports Bar and Lounge in Hinesville, Georgia, was shot during an altercation in the club’s parking lot. Authorities say Turner and other security staff were clearing the lot after closing when they told three men in a Chevrolet to leave. One man reportedly displayed a firearm that was knocked away by a bouncer. The driver, identified as Marcus Gunn, then allegedly produced another gun and fired three shots; one struck Turner.

Turner was taken to Liberty Regional Medical Center, where he was pronounced dead. Hinesville police, who were nearby for crowd control, found Turner and initiated a traffic stop on Harrison Drive, where Gunn was arrested and a weapon recovered from the vehicle. The two passengers were reportedly released. Gunn was charged with murder and aggravated assault, denied bond initially, later released on bond after it was reduced.

Turner’s mother said he left behind two daughters and delivered a victim impact statement describing her grief and anger. If anyone knew Eric Turner, his work at the club, or events that night, what information can be added to this timeline?
