David James Artley, 43, was shot and killed on August 23, 2020, inside Hardy’s Bar in Elkhart, Indiana. He worked as a saw operator for Forest River and had previously been employed at Heartland RV. Married to Stephanie Tiemann, he was father to three children: Collin Michael Tiemann, Noah Clayton Stewart, and Ariel Louise Artley.

The dispute at the bar escalated into a shooting that also wounded a woman. Jordan Norton was identified as the shooter. At trial Norton asserted he acted in self-defense; the first jury deadlocked on the murder count but convicted him of battery with a deadly weapon and criminal recklessness for the woman’s injuries. At retrial Norton was convicted of Artley’s murder. The court heard that Norton fired seven times in the crowded bar and five shots struck Artley, including after Artley had fallen to the ground.

Norton received a 75-year prison sentence for Artley’s murder, on top of penalties for the other convictions. Does anyone have information about the events at Hardy’s Bar that night or knew David?
