A post-Super Bowl gathering at Club 66 in Yazoo City, Mississippi, on the night of February 5–6, 2017, ended in a mass shooting that killed four men, including 35-year-old Gabriel Townsend. The violence began during a dispute involving a woman who was reportedly leaving the club with Townsend. While Townsend sat in his car preparing to give her a ride, he was shot and killed.

The gunman then opened fire on others nearby. Jerranden Allen, 32, was killed after coming to Townsend’s aid. The shooter pursued and killed Kevin Johnson, and also shot his own uncle, 46-year-old Edward Johnson. Two victims died at the scene; two others later died at a local hospital. The suspect was identified as 27-year-old Bridell Barber, who fled but was arrested by U.S. Marshals in Jackson, Mississippi, the next day. During his initial court appearance he denied the killings, though investigators said he confessed during questioning and witnesses reported he said there would be no witnesses after shooting Townsend.

Did anyone who was at Club 66 that night or who knows these men see anything that could help clarify how the incident started?
