In the early morning hours of September 13, 2015, a dispute that began inside PT’s Showclub on East Colfax Avenue in Denver ended with the fatal shooting of 29-year-old Jeremy Garcia. After an altercation inside the club, Garcia was shot in the parking lot around 12:30 a.m. Police found him with apparent gunshot wounds; he was taken to a nearby hospital and later died of his injuries.

Investigators identified 31-year-old Stephen Futrell as the suspect. Futrell was arrested after the Sunday morning shooting and initially faced charges of first-degree murder and possession of a weapon by a previous offender. Reports say the shooting was believed to be a targeted act of violence stemming from the earlier conflict inside the club.

On April 29, 2016, Futrell pleaded guilty to second-degree murder; that plea was reached as first-degree murder and weapons charges were dismissed, and he faced a sentence of 24 to 40 years. If anyone knew Jeremy, his movements that night, or has information about the altercation at PT’s Showclub, please come forward.
