Clayton Brunson, 27, was killed in the early morning hours of June 1, 2014, inside Ficklin’s Bar on Fifth Avenue in Uptown Pittsburgh. An argument between two men escalated into multiple gunshots in a crowded room of about 200 patrons; Brunson was struck in the abdomen, taken to UPMC Mercy where he had surgery, and was pronounced dead at 2:40 a.m. A 25-year-old man was also shot in the foot and survived.

Brunson was known for work with local youth and remembered as a role model, leaving behind a fiancée and a young daughter. His mother, Tonya Goodnight, publicly urged the bar to close because of its history of violence; the owners agreed to a temporary closure as the investigation began. Despite many potential witnesses, police have not publicly identified a suspect and no arrests have been announced. It is unclear whether venue surveillance captured the shooting.

Did anyone in the community see or hear anything that night that could help bring Clayton’s killers to account?
