Maurice Heyward, 38, was killed by a single gunshot outside the Lucky Lady Lounge in Evansville, Indiana, in the early hours of February 13, 2016. Heyward, a frequent patron who worked as a bouncer at the Busy Body Lounge, arrived at the Lucky Lady shortly after another man, Gerrod D. Pointer, who left the venue with his uncle just before Heyward was shot. Surveillance footage captured Pointer walking away from the club within minutes before the shooting; Heyward was struck in the upper torso, rushed to hospital and later died from bleeding caused by lacerations to the lung and heart.

Investigators used exterior surveillance and a relative’s identification to develop Pointer as a suspect. A warrant for his arrest was issued after he fled the state; he was located in Wichita, Kansas, in April 2016 on a parole violation and returned to Indiana in August. At a May 2017 jury trial in Vanderburgh Circuit Court, the prosecution introduced the footage, witness testimony and evidence of a prior ejection of Pointer by Heyward at the Busy Body Lounge. The jury found Pointer guilty and he was sentenced to sixty years on June 19, 2017.

Did anyone who knew Maurice or was at the Lucky Lady that night see something not yet reported?
