Dacarious Terrell Burkett was 22 when he was shot and killed during a birthday party inside an unlicensed motorcycle club at 501 W. Fourth Street in Waterloo, Iowa, in the early hours of September 26, 2020. The same outbreak of gunfire also killed 28-year-old Takeya M. Hogan-Camp and wounded six others. Burkett’s girlfriend was pregnant at the time; his family said he had been shot and injured months earlier outside another after-hours club in the city.

Authorities arrested and charged Willie Saffold Jr. in connection with the killings; prosecutors introduced evidence at trial and the defense argued Saffold fired in self-defense and disputed who fired the fatal shots. In February 2025 a jury found Saffold not guilty on all counts, and no other arrests have been announced. Burkett’s girlfriend later organized a fundraiser to help with funeral expenses.

Does anyone have information about who else might have been present that night or saw what happened in or around the club?
