Robert Burdette, a 29-year-old from Dayton, Ohio, died on November 10, 2018, after sustaining a gunshot wound to the head during an altercation at the Ashwood Lounge on November 7, 2018. He had been struck and then shot in the head with a .40 caliber handgun; he was taken off life support three days later and died from his injuries. Burdette was born February 24, 1989, to Robert McGee and Windy Burdette.

The confrontation began when Burdette and his cousin arrived at the lounge reportedly intoxicated and armed. Security guards tried to take the weapon away, and the dispute escalated after 50-year-old security guard Steven Coleman intervened. Coleman punched Burdette in the head and then shot him in the head. Coleman was arrested and charged with murder; at trial he was convicted on multiple counts, including three counts of murder, and later sentenced to 20 years to life in prison.

Did anyone who knew Robert or was at the Ashwood Lounge that night notice anything about how the confrontation started or the actions that followed?
