A late-night argument at a downtown Indianapolis eatery ended in a fatal shooting on August 4, 2019. Thirty-two-year-old Joseph Aikens was at Big Dan’s Hamburgers on Massachusetts Avenue with his girlfriend and friends when a bump in line led to a shove between Aikens and another man, identified as Jamar Myers. An acquaintance of Aikens struck Myers inside the restaurant, employees moved everyone outside, and the confrontation continued in the parking lot.

Surveillance video shows Myers retrieving a handgun from a van, re-engaging with Aikens, and firing at close range. Aikens collapsed near his vehicle and later died; Myers also suffered a gunshot wound during the incident. Police arrested Jamar Myers and charged him with murder based on the security-camera evidence.

Are there witnesses who were at Big Dan’s that night or anyone with additional footage of the parking lot encounter?
