Gerald Duane Bailey, 23, was shot and killed outside The Palace, a gentleman’s club in Birmingham, Alabama, in the early hours of August 7, 2017. The incident reportedly began with an argument over a lighter after Bailey asked to borrow it; both men were removed from the club by security. At about 3:27 a.m., while Bailey was walking toward a vehicle across the street, another car drove by and shots were fired. Bailey was struck multiple times, taken to UAB Hospital, and pronounced dead at 5:45 a.m. while undergoing surgery.

The case remains publicly unresolved. If anyone witnessed the shooting that night or has information about who was in the area around The Palace shortly before 3:30 a.m., please come forward.
