Tony Payne was 32 when he was fatally shot in the parking lot of the Turtle Tap bar in Beloit, Wisconsin, on the night of August 31, 2016. Medical personnel treated him but he died of gunshot wounds.

Investigators identified 33-year-old Michael E. Joseph as a suspect and charged him in connection with Payne’s death. Joseph’s defense argued he was too intoxicated that night to remember the events. The case did not go to a full trial; Joseph pled no contest and was convicted without an admission of guilt.

The legal proceedings reached a resolution, but the community was left to reckon with Payne’s violent death. If anyone knew Tony Payne or has information about the shooting that night, please share what you remember.
