In the pre-dawn hours of Saturday, February 24, 2024, a dispute at Club Blaam in the 600 block of Ruby Avenue in Waco turned deadly. The altercation began inside the nightclub and continued outside; at approximately 3:01 a.m. gunfire erupted and 39-year-old Winfred Talley Jr was struck and fatally wounded. Two women, ages 18 and 19, were also injured by the gunfire and were expected to recover. Bystanders rushed Mr. Talley to a nearby hospital, where he was pronounced dead.

Waco police opened a homicide investigation. An arrest warrant later said the shooting followed an altercation between Mr. Talley and a man identified as Amani Gibson, who had reportedly been ejected from the club twice that night. Cell phone footage captured parts of the confrontation near the club’s entrance, and the conflict continued outside after Gibson’s removal.

Does anyone have information about the incident at Club Blaam or the events leading up to that early morning dispute?
