A late-night argument over five dollars at an American Legion post in Evansville, Indiana, ended in gunfire and death. Anthony Earl Blaylock, 32 and a father of three, was involved in a dispute with 22-year-old Darius Bushrod on August 27, 2017. Witnesses say the confrontation began inside the bar, was broken up, then resumed in the parking lot where Bushrod opened fire, striking Blaylock multiple times in the torso. Police arrived about 2:15 a.m.; Blaylock was taken to Deaconess Hospital and died of his wounds. Three other people were wounded but survived.

Surveillance footage from the American Legion captured the second altercation and the shooting, and eyewitness accounts helped investigators. An arrest warrant was issued for Bushrod; he was located and arrested in January 2018. At trial, jurors convicted Bushrod of murder in October 2018 and imposed a lengthy prison term including extra time for firearm use.
