A week before the killing, police claimed security photos showed the same suspect, believed to be Maguellal, threatening and then shooting the driver of the car following a fight at a club on Indy’s south side.

FOX 59 reports the victim told police he was also trying to play a peacekeeping role by breaking up the disturbance among strangers outside the club.
