Court testimony described three gunshot wounds: to the top of his foot, his right buttock, and the right side of his chest, the chest wound being identified as the fatal injury. Eyewitness Gregory Barksdale testified he had been drinking and had smoked marijuana outside the bar; he heard three or four shots and said he saw Derrick Gay fire one shot into the air, one toward the ground, and one at Beauford as Beauford ran away. Derrick Gay was tried in Delaware County Court of Common Pleas, convicted by Judge Charles C. Keeler of third-degree murder and related offenses, and later challenged that conviction in federal habeas proceedings.

The federal court reviewed claims about witness reliability, alleged inconsistencies with the medical evidence, and ineffective assistance of counsel, but denied relief and left the conviction intact. Does anyone have additional information about the scene that night or other eyewitnesses who came forward?
