Jackson Weller, 23, was fatally shot outside a Nob Hill nightclub in Albuquerque in the early hours of May 4, 2019. A right-handed pitcher for the University of New Mexico’s baseball team who was sidelined by injury, Weller had been out with teammates after a game. Witnesses say he was involved in a physical altercation inside a bar earlier that night; later, outside the club, he was shot and died at a nearby hospital.

Police identified Darian Bashir as the primary suspect after reviewing security footage and witness statements. Investigators say Bashir was not part of the earlier fight but apparently sought revenge for it, fled the scene after the shooting, and asked his girlfriend to conceal the vehicle’s license plate. Authorities arrested Bashir less than a week later and charged him with an open count of murder.

What details about that night or the people involved might help explain how a bar fight escalated into this fatal shooting?
