Man Killed on Tuscon, Arizona Stop of The Street Brutality Tour

posted Dec 8, 2005 at 2:10 PM by deathbringer.  (26 Comments)

One man was shot to death and several others injured (one individual was hit in the head with a hammer) after a fight broke out during a show on The Street Brutality Tour featuring Shattered Realm, Donnybrook and Hoods in Tucson, Arizona last night. The incident occured at Skrappy's, which bills itself as an alcohol- and drug-free club for people under 21. Police said they have had few calls for problems there.

The man fatally shot at a music club last night as Ray Darrin Pierson, 27, of Mesa. Pierson was in Tucson to see Shattered Realm. He was shot outside the club after a fight involving at least 20 people inside the venue, said Sgt. Ramon Batista, a Tucson Police Department spokesman. Pierson died at a hospital. Several other people were injured according to Batista, but he declined to discuss details.

Homicide detectives are trying to interview everyone who was at the Shattered Realm show - up to 200 people. Detectives found a handgun outside the club, but won't say who was carrying it. No one has been arrested so far. Police are asking anyone who was at the show and anyone who may have information about the fight and shooting to call 911 or 88-CRIME, the anonymous tip line of the Pima County Attorney's Office.

Several emails to Lambgoat.com owners suggest that the fight was between local hardcore kids and FSU members.

Skrappy's doors were locked this morning, and no one appeared to be inside.

no one is bashing the band just the moronic fans aka straight-edgers. I mean
first brass knuckle, clubs, knives and jumping on people oh like 10 to 1! And
now you have to shoot them. You guys mostly are worthless fags with
the exception of a few who have been in the movement for years and find
peaceful ways of resolving issues other than bombing animal labs like you
and your buttbuddies do. Hey I think dominos just rung your doorbell
and has your veggie lovers pizza with extra no-cheese. Dorks.

It is a sad day, and it is not a metal thing or a hard core thing or a rap thing or a country thing....it is a man getting shot by a gutless P.O.S. It has nothing to do with what you have on, or what you look like, it has to do with a kid that has no down low to fight and needs to grab a gun....... Get over it.... He will be missed.... and I feel bad for all the lives that are lost to the same Bull S.

I wish everyone would get their story straight! The dude got shot because he chased after the guy with a knife or as some are calling it, a machete. He had a chance to back off and let it go but he chased him to his car and BAM! Game Over. Its called justifiable homicide.

It still sucks. People just need to chill. Also, as some have said, the music has nothing to do with it. I listen to metal and punk and play in a punk band. So freakin what! Alot of people out there need to just grow up and quit trying to be "hardcore". It doesn't make you cool. It just makes you look like an idiot.

Stay cool and live to see another day. Peace from the Hippy.
