Marl Wayne Smith, 79, was fatally shot inside his business, the Pub Lounge on South Columbia Street in Bogalusa, Louisiana, on March 3, 2022. The bar’s ATM was also broken into and money was stolen during the incident.

Investigators quickly identified a suspect as David Huey Rester, Jr., 51, of Bogalusa. He was apprehended in D’Iberville, Mississippi, after a police chase and after authorities say he was involved in other crimes in Mississippi, including an armed bank robbery and a kidnapping in Waveland. Rester was held in Harrison County, Mississippi, pending extradition to Washington Parish to face murder charges.

Did anyone who knew Marl Wayne Smith or who was in the Pub Lounge that night see anything that could help clarify what happened?
