            What had seemed to start out as a common bar fight escaladed into a lot more. At 10:45 pm yesterday the Fandango Bar and Grill became the crime scene to a murder case.

            Peter Wickham, age 35, was at Fandango last night when he got into an argument with an unknown person. Eventually the two began to shove each other, which is when the bartender stepped in and a kicked them out.

            The people inside the bar continued to hear the two men arguing, when all of a sudden there was a sound of a shot being fired. When people came out to see what had happened all they found was Wickham laying in a pool of blood. The shooter was nowhere to be found.

            Wickham was taken directly to St. Mary’s hospital but was classified as “Dead On Arrival.” Although unsure of the true reason for the shooting, Lt. Jane Ortlieb believes that it had to do with a possible drug deal. Ortlieb says that “Fandango is a known hangout for drug dealers and users” which is what causes her to believe that the murder is drug related.
