On August 24, 2014, at about 1:13 a.m., a shooting outside the Veterans of Foreign Wars lodge in Magnolia, Arkansas, left two young men dead: 24-year-old Wayne A. Payton and 23-year-old Brandon T. Hobdy. Both were connected to Southern Arkansas University; Hobdy was a current student and SAU football wide receiver and Payton was a former student. The gathering was a non-SAU back-to-school party where several students had assembled.

According to authorities, a disturbance led to the removal of several people from the event. Those individuals returned in a red vehicle and began firing indiscriminately into the crowd. Payton and Hobdy were described as innocent bystanders caught in the crossfire. Arrests followed: 20-year-old Byron Lavell Dunn of Magnolia was arrested August 25, 2014, and charged with committing a terroristic act; investigators later identified a second suspect and a tentative trial date for that person was set for April 27–29, 2016.

Does anyone who attended that night or knew Wayne have information that could help clarify what happened?
