On the evening of August 10, 1979, a dispute at the Ranch House Bar in Tucson, Arizona, escalated into a deadly shooting that left two men dead and a third wounded. Barry Collins, 28 and from North Carolina, was one of the men killed; the other fatality was Albert Hughes Jr., a Tucson resident. The incident began with an argument involving biker Jasper Newton McMurtrey and three other men, and McMurtrey opened fire after saying one of the men had pointed a gun at him.

McMurtrey was arrested and charged with the murders of Barry Collins and Albert Hughes and with assaulting the wounded man. He was convicted in 1981 and sentenced to death. Years later his conviction was overturned on grounds that included questions about his mental competency at trial and the adequacy of his legal representation; he later entered a plea to lesser charges and received a reduced sentence.
