Authorities have released the name of a man who was shot during a robbery outside a south side tavern Thursday night.
A witness tells investigators he was dropping off three people near Teenie's Tavern on South Avenue when his truck was approached by two men who demanded money.
The witness says that when the victims refused, the two men pulled guns and fired six shots into the truck.
Forty-one-year-old Dale Garver of Burnsville, West Virginia was struck by the gunfire and taken to Saint Elizabeth Health Center where he later died.
Detectives are going over witness statements and reviewing surveillance video of the crime in hopes of identifying the suspects.
