Someone was brought to trial but then acquitted.

Death

Eddie Jefferson was shot and killed at Baker's on May 8, 1979, aged 60. He had left the club with fellow band leader Cole around 1:35 a.m. and was shot while walking out of the building. A late-model Lincoln Continental was spotted speeding away from the scene. The driver was later picked up by Detroit police and identified as a disgruntled dancer whom Jefferson once worked with and had fired from a gig. The suspect was charged with murder, but was later acquitted in a Detroit trial.
