Eric Brown, 26, was shot and killed inside the Star Social Club on East Market Street in West Chester, Pennsylvania, on April 10, 2018. The violence began after a dispute following a basketball game at nearby West Chester University; witnesses say the argument involved Brown and two brothers, Tyrell and Timothy TJ Jacobs. Patrons tried to intervene, but the Jacobs brothers pursued Brown through the club while both men displayed firearms. Brown, who was unarmed, became trapped in a small locked room and was shot once in the chest. He was taken to Paoli Hospital, where he was pronounced dead.

Surveillance video from inside the club reportedly captured the entire episode, lasting less than ten minutes from the initial argument to the fatal shot. Warrants for first-degree murder and conspiracy were issued for both Tyrell and Timothy Jacobs; they were arrested in Philadelphia on April 18, 2018. The case went to trial, and in October 2019 a jury convicted Tyrell Jacobs of first-degree murder for firing the shot that killed Brown, while Timothy Jacobs was convicted of third-degree murder for his role. Sentencing occurred in February 2020.

Does anyone who knew Eric or who was at the Star Social Club that night have information about what led to the confrontation?
