On July 26, 1993, 30-year-old Jerry Emmert was shot and killed after an argument at a Taco Bell drive-thru in Indianapolis. Earlier that evening Emmert and friends had rented a limousine and visited the Patio Nightclub; an incident there prompted police to let Emmert leave only if his friends took him straight home. The group stopped at a nearby Taco Bell instead.

A car behind the limousine, occupied by Darnell Johnson, Charles Zinnerman, and Eric Hunt, was playing loud music that interfered with the drive-thru order. A verbal dispute between the two vehicles escalated into a confrontation outside the restaurant. Inside, manager instructions led employee Anthony Price to hand a handgun to Johnson. Johnson raised the gun, adjusted the ammunition, then fired multiple times at Emmert.

Emmert was struck four times; three bullets entered his back and one severed his aorta. He had no weapon and made no aggressive moves toward Johnson before he was shot. Darnell Johnson was later convicted of murder in Emmert’s death. Does anyone have additional details about the night at the Taco Bell or the people present?
