A New Year’s celebration at Rerun’s Lounge in Racine, Wisconsin, ended in gunfire that killed two men. In the early hours of January 1, 2023, 56-year-old Billy Petty, a Black man, was fatally shot during a fight inside the bar; the bar’s owner, 66-year-old Avery Rerun Stewart, was also found dead at the scene. Police arrived at the intersection of 11th and Washington and recovered high-quality surveillance footage from inside the lounge that captured the incident.

Investigators identified a suspect, Abdullah Rashada, and charged him in connection with Petty’s death. Rashada was later found not guilty of first-degree intentional homicide but pleaded guilty to a gun felony and received a two-year prison term plus three years of extended supervision.

If anyone witnessed the events inside Rerun’s Lounge that night or has information about the fight, please share what was seen or heard.
