In the early morning hours of September 30, 2023, a dispute in a Lancaster parking lot left 38-year-old Edward Gardner dead from multiple gunshot wounds. Officers found Gardner around 1:19 a.m. in the 900 block of South Duke Street; he was taken to a hospital and pronounced dead shortly after 2:00 a.m. An autopsy ruled his death a homicide caused by multiple gunshot wounds.

Investigators identified one primary suspect, Terrance McCain, also known as Terry White, after reviewing surveillance footage from nearby businesses and social media. Court documents and video show the two men arguing in the parking lot of the former Capps Bar, and that McCain retrieved a handgun from a vehicle and fired three shots from roughly ten feet, striking Gardner. A warrant was issued and McCain, then 37, turned himself in on October 3, 2023, accompanied by his attorney; he was charged with first-degree murder, third-degree murder, and recklessly endangering another person.

Was anyone in the area that night able to see or record what happened in the parking lot?
