Nicholas Fine was 30 when he was killed on January 27, 2020, while working as a security guard at the Pony Club on Indianapolis’ west side. According to investigators, the incident began after a patron, 34-year-old Damien Sutton, became unruly and was escorted out. Sutton reportedly returned from his vehicle with a firearm and a shootout followed near the club’s front.

Fine was found with multiple gunshot wounds and died during surgery at a nearby hospital. Sutton was found dead in his car in the parking lot. Homicide detectives concluded Sutton was the aggressor and that Fine had acted in self-defense. No charges were filed and the investigation was closed as a justifiable homicide.
