On the night of February 5, 2021, 48-year-old Eric Russaw was shot multiple times at a biker club on Wall Street in Eufaula, Alabama. The shooting happened about 11:30 p.m.; Eufaula Fire Rescue pronounced Russaw dead at the scene from gunshot wounds to his upper body. The Eufaula Police Department found him after a shots-fired call and opened a homicide investigation that has since gone cold with no arrests or publicly identified suspects.

Russaw, originally from Abbeville, was with others at the club when the shooting occurred. His brother Derek says 15 to 20 people were inside and that Russaw may have been knocked down, shot, and moved outside before anyone called for help; the family believes the dispute began over a woman who had accompanied him. Frustrated by the lack of progress, the family says potential witnesses have remained silent. Crimestoppers is offering a $5,000 reward for information that leads to an arrest, and Russaw’s wife, Lakeisha, created the Eric Russaw Memorial Scholarship for local career technical students in his memory.

If anyone was at the club that night or has information about who shot Eric Russaw, please contact the Eufaula Police Department or submit an anonymous tip.
