On June 24, 2017, at about 1:07 a.m., 32-year-old Bo Matthew Hopson was shot outside D-Dub’s Bar and Grill on Ninth Street in Eudora, Kansas. Hopson, working security that night, went outside after an altercation involving an intoxicated patron, Danny W. Queen, to check on the situation and reportedly offered to get the man a ride home. Witnesses say Queen produced a handgun and shot Hopson in the chest and arm. Bar employees and patrons disarmed and detained Queen until police arrived.

Hopson was airlifted to the University of Kansas Hospital in Kansas City and died of his wounds on June 25, 2017; his death was ruled a homicide by gunshot. Queen was arrested and charged with murder and related counts; he was later convicted by a jury of second-degree murder and related charges in August 2018. An appellate court decision in July 2020 found a statutory speedy-trial violation, and the Kansas Supreme Court affirmed dismissal of the charges in 2021, resulting in Queen’s release.

Are there witnesses or anyone who knew Bo Hopson who can share more about that night or about Bo’s life?
