On Thanksgiving morning, November 25, 2021, Xavier West, 29, was shot and killed inside the Cricket Club bar in Battle Creek, Michigan. The shooting happened during fights reported on the club’s second floor; West, who was unarmed and was a father to an 8-year-old girl, was struck and later died at a local hospital. The person who fired was identified as Adam Yancer, a security guard at the establishment.

The Battle Creek Police Department investigated and recommended charges, but Calhoun County Prosecutor David Gilbert announced his office would not pursue criminal charges. In a 15-page opinion the prosecutor said Yancer’s claim of self-defense could not be disproven beyond a reasonable doubt. The family expressed profound disappointment and urged for justice, and the Battle Creek Police Chief asked the Michigan Attorney General’s office to review the case.

Does anyone have information about what happened on that second-floor altercation or saw events at the Cricket Club that night?
