MAN CHARGED IN
NIGHT CLUB SHOOTING
Denver
District Attorney Bill Ritter Jr., has formally filed charges
against a man accused of shooting a bouncer at a night club in
Denver on September 22, 2003.
Tarell
Burton
(DOB: 5-12-79) was charged with one count of first degree
murder (F1) yesterday.
The charge alleges
that Burton was asked to leave the club by the victim,
42-year-old Shawn Johnson, after being involved in a disturbance
inside the club. Johnson was shot once in the back a few
minutes later, and died at Denver Health Medical Center.
Further investigation led Denver Police to identify Burton as a
suspect in the case. He was arrested October 10, 2003 when he
voluntarily surrendered at the Denver Police Department.
Burton remains in
jail and is scheduled to appear in Denver County court on
October 20, 2003, at 9:00 am for his second advisement.
