Tequila Bottle Turned Deadly

A dropped tequila bottle sparked a deadly nightclub brawl that ended in murder: Roy Smart, 44, is charged with killing La’Montrell McFarland, 42, in a parking lot shootout on January 14, 2022. McFarland survived the first shots but died from a second wound. Three firearms were found at the scene, suggesting multiple shooters. Witnesses say Smart, who was armed and wore a mask, fired first after an argument erupted over the bottle. Smart, now in federal prison, denies involvement but texted about injuries to his face, chest, and arm — even sending photos. Cell phone data confirms he was at the club for hours. The investigation continues to unravel who pulled the trigger first — and how a simple accident turned into tragedy. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
