A family barbecue in Lincoln ended in fatal violence on June 20, 2014, when 31-year-old Earl Richardson III was shot on the back porch of a cousin’s home in the 200 block of South 27th Street. A dispute that began at the gathering reportedly concerned a drug debt and turned into a physical fight between Richardson and 26-year-old Danny Tucker.

After leaving and then returning about 30 minutes later with a handgun, Tucker allegedly fired four to five shots at Richardson while he sat alone, striking him in the back and leg. Guests ran out after hearing the shots; Richardson was transported to a local hospital and pronounced dead. Police arrested Tucker the following day and charged him with first-degree murder and use of a weapon to commit a felony. Investigators say a .357-caliber handgun was recovered where Tucker had allegedly marked it on a map he sent from jail, showing the weapon buried on apartment-complex grounds.

Does anyone have information about that June 20 gathering or the events leading up to the shooting?
