Daniel Broussard argues with staff at a Wyoming restaurant and several other patrons escort Broussard into the parking lot. Broussard, 31, gets the gun from his car and tries to go back inside, leading to another fight. One of the patrons, afraid Broussard will open fire, shoots Broussard first.

Among the patrons that forced Broussard to leave the Montana Club was a retired Wyoming police officer. Nancy Billings' police have clarified that the retired officer was not the shooter, but did not identify who was. Broussard was not seriously injured in the shooting and was taken into custody after receiving medical attention. Broussard, who started the whole thing over food missing from his to-go order, is booked into Yellowstone County Jail, charged with assault with a weapon. All over a to-go order. More crime and justice news after this. And now, with the latest crime and justice breaking news,

Crime Online's John Limley. A St. Louis County, Missouri woman has been charged with two counts of first-degree murder after she tracked down her stolen car and allegedly killed two men outside a gas station. 35-year-old Demisha Coleman of Spanish Lake, Missouri, was charged in the deaths of 19-year-old Darius Jackson and 49-year-old Joseph Farrar. Another man was shot in the head during the shootout but survived. Our friends with the St. Louis Post-Dispatch say it was not immediately clear which, if any, of the three men were suspected of stealing Coleman's car. Surveillance video shows Coleman walking up to a Hyundai Tucson at the gas station with a man who was also carrying a weapon.

Police have not released the man's name. In the video, you can see Coleman opening the car door with her gun raised, while the man opens another door, also with his gun raised. Police say Coleman opened fire and sparked the shootout. A southern Indiana man allegedly killed his father, whose mutilated body was found outside the home they shared. Sydney Sumner with Crime Online. 53-year-old Sean Hayes of Mitchell, Indiana, faces nine felony charges including murder, battery, and abuse of a corpse

in the death of 73-year-old Rodney E. Hayes. Lawrence County Sheriff's deputies were called to the men's Mitchell home after a 911 caller requested a welfare check on Rodney Hayes. When deputies arrived, they had to prevent Sean Hayes from leaving the scene in a pickup truck. After Hayes refused to leave the truck, the deputies noticed a shotgun on the seat next to him, and while one deputy distracted him, the other grabbed the gun and he was handcuffed after a struggle. Officers found Rodney Hayes dead in the front yard with apparent gunshot wounds to his head and chest.

An autopsy is pending. The Washington State Supreme Court has reinstated two aggravated murder convictions for a man in the 1987 killings of a young Canadian couple. The high court unanimously rejected the defense's arguments that William Talbot II should be granted a new trial due to one juror's alleged bias, concluding that defense attorneys could have dismissed the juror ahead of the trial but opted not to do so. Detectives arrested 59-year-old Talbot in 2018 after using the then novel method of forensic genealogy to connect him to the slayings of 18-year-old Tanya Van

Kylenburg and 20-year-old Jay Cook. A Sonomish County jury convicted him of the killings in 2019, sentencing him to life in prison. But an appeals court overturned the conviction last year due to one juror's perceived bias. Sonomish County prosecutors then appealed that ruling to the state's highest court. Van Kylenburg and Cook disappeared in November 1987 after leaving their home near Victoria, British Columbia, for an overnight trip to Seattle. Their bodies were found in separate locations in northwestern Washington about a week later. Adnan Syed, who was released from a Maryland prison this year after his case was the focus of the true crime podcast Serial, has been hired by Georgetown University as a program associate for the university's Prisons and Justice Initiative, Crime Online's Sidney Sumner.

Syed started working this month for the initiative, which advocates for others in the criminal legal system. In his new role, Syed will support Georgetown's Making an Exoneree class, in which students reinvestigate decades-old wrongful convictions, create short documentaries about the cases, and work to help bring innocent people home from prison. Syed had been one of 25 incarcerated students at Georgetown's inaugural Bachelor of Liberal Arts program at the Patuxent Institute in Jessup, Maryland during the year

leading up to his release. 41-year-old Syed hopes to continue his Georgetown education and eventually go to law school. After spending 23 years in prison, Syed walked out of a Baltimore courthouse in September after a judge overturned his conviction for the 1999 murder of a high school student, Haymen Lee, Syed's ex-girlfriend.
