Man Killed Outside DONNYBROOK/SHATTERED REALM Show Identified

December 8, 2005

Becky Pallack of the Arizona Daily Star is reporting that Tucson Police have identified a man fatally shot outside a hardcore/metal show last night as Ray Darrin Pierson, 27, of Mesa.

Pierson was in Tucson to see the band SHATTERED REALM at Skrappy's, a Downtown music club that caters to teens and all-ages music shows. Also appearing on the bill were DONNYBROOK, HOODS and BLACK MY HEART.

Pierson 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. He died at a hospital.

Several other people were injured, Batista said, 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.
