A confrontation that began inside Sully’s Bar & Grill on Indianapolis’ far west side ended in a fatal shooting on May 10, 2014. Michael Willoughby, 34, was shot after an argument inside the bar escalated into a physical altercation that spilled into the parking lot. He died shortly after emergency responders arrived.

Police identified 25-year-old Devin Brookins as the suspect; he voluntarily surrendered to the Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department and was arrested on a preliminary murder charge. Court documents say the dispute intensified after Brookins punched Willoughby in the back of the head, touching off the larger fight in which Willoughby was shot. Multiple witnesses later identified Brookins as the shooter, and the Indiana Court of Appeals reviewed and affirmed his murder conviction.

If anyone knew Michael, was at Sully’s that night, or has other information about the events leading up to the shooting, please share what is known.
