Christopher Edwards, 30, was shot and killed outside a Baton Rouge nightclub in the early hours of Sunday, October 23, 2016. The shooting took place around 1:45 a.m. in the 2000 block of North Foster Drive after an argument that began inside The Executive Club. Edwards suffered gunshot wounds to his torso and died at the scene; a 35-year-old woman was also wounded and taken to a hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.

Surveillance footage from the club and a neighboring business showed Edwards arguing with two brothers, Horace and Mack Smith, after Edwards declined a handshake from Horace. Security removed the brothers from the club, but the confrontation escalated as Edwards was leaving; footage captured Horace approaching Edwards and the subsequent shooting, then the brothers fleeing in a vehicle.

Mack Arthur Smith was arrested on October 26, 2016, after a witness identified him in a photo lineup and charged with principal to second-degree murder and felon in possession of a firearm. Horace Smith was wanted on charges of second-degree murder and felon in possession of a firearm and was apprehended on February 2, 2017.

Did anyone who knew Christopher or who was in that area that night see details not captured on the surveillance footage?
