Patrick Petty, 30, was killed in a shootout that broke out in the parking lot of Hatmaker’s Bar & Grill on Tazewell Pike in North Knoxville on the night of April 29, 2022. The confrontation, described as a fight between members of the Outlaw Motorcycle Club and the Pagans Motorcycle Club, produced multiple gunshot victims and left Petty and 46-year-old Kenneth Burgett of Knoxville dead at the scene.

Officers arriving around 9:45 p.m. found a chaotic scene. Three other men suffered non-life-threatening gunshot wounds; two were treated after being found at the scene and one, also 30, left the scene and later was taken to U.T. Medical Center after first arriving at Claiborne Medical Center. Investigators say members of both motorcycle clubs were involved in the exchange of gunfire.

No arrests or charges have been announced. The Knoxville Police Department continues to investigate and is asking anyone with information to come forward. Does anyone have information about what happened that night or recognized anyone involved?
