On the night of August 8, 2020, Guillermo Martinez, 23, was shot and killed around 10:15 p.m. in the parking lot of Outbreak Billiards near Douglas Avenue and High Street in Racine, Wisconsin. Responders found people at the scene trying to render aid; Martinez was pronounced dead from gunshot wounds to his left arm and torso.

Investigators say Edward Sanders Jr., 31, was located inside the billiards hall and had called 911 to report placing his gun on the bar. According to the criminal complaint, Sanders and his brother had confronted a group, including Martinez, over an alleged reaching-into Sanders’ car; Sanders told police his brother was sucker-punched and that Martinez ran at him, so he drew a handgun and shot Martinez. Reportedly, exterior video contradicts Sanders’ claim of being assaulted and shows him retrieving a handgun, pointing it at witnesses, and engaging with Martinez before the shooting.

Sanders was arrested and charged with first-degree intentional homicide and use of a dangerous weapon. Did anyone who was near Outbreak Billiards that night see what happened or have additional information?
