Eddie Benard Hamilton, 33, was shot to death in New Albany, Indiana, in the early morning hours of November 5, 2017, after a dispute at Mac’s Hideaway bar reportedly spilled into the street. Prosecutors described the shooting near a Marathon gas station on Charlestown Road as execution-style; surveillance footage from the station shows two people chasing Hamilton before he was found by officers responding to reports of gunfire.

New Albany police identified two Jeffersonville men, Michael Baines III, 26, and Robert Sheckles Jr., 27, as suspects and obtained warrants charging both with murder. Baines was booked into the Floyd County Jail and Sheckles later surrendered. Both men pleaded not guilty; Baines’s attorney said he did not know Hamilton, did not own a gun, and was not associated with Sheckles, while prosecutors highlighted the surveillance video as key evidence.

Does anyone have information about Hamilton, his movements that night, or the surveillance footage near the Marathon on Charlestown Road?
