Cedric Dothard was 27 when he was shot after a confrontation that began inside a Lincoln, Alabama, nightclub and spilled into the street on the night of March 13, 2011. He was taken to a nearby hospital but died of his wounds.

Lincoln Police investigated and arrested Terrance T.J. Trussell in connection with the shooting. Trussell was tried in Talladega County; the prosecution described the killing as intentional while the defense argued self-defense. The jury acquitted Trussell of murder but convicted him of the lesser charge of manslaughter and sentenced him to 20 years in prison.

What did neighbors or anyone who was at the club that night see or hear that could add clarity to how the altercation escalated?
