In the early hours of Christmas Day 2014 a dispute inside Butt Cuts Bar on Joe Louis Lane in Hahnville, Louisiana, ended with 23-year-old David Scott shot dead. Scott, a Black man from Houston, was involved in an argument with another man over a woman when that man produced a handgun and opened fire, striking Scott multiple times. Deputies from the St. Charles Parish Sheriff’s Office arrived around 12:30 a.m. and found Scott deceased on the bar floor; a second man suffered a gunshot wound to his foot.

Detectives identified 36-year-old Larry C. Thompson of Boutte as the suspect and tied the shooting to a disagreement about his former girlfriend. A warrant was issued charging Thompson with second-degree murder and aggravated battery, and he was later located with the assistance of U.S. Marshals hiding at an apartment complex in Kenner.

Did anyone in the area know David Scott or witness events at Butt Cuts Bar that night?
