The first victim said he had been counting money when people called him to break up a fight. He found the second and third victims on top of Powell.
The first victim threw Powell out the front door and when he did, noticed a puncture wound in his chest.
He and two other victims said Powell had been playing pool with one of the victim's uncles when Powell began to "smart off" to the uncle. The second victim told Powell to leave the bar. He and the third victim got into a yelling match and ended up in a fight and on top of Powell. The second two victims later noticed their wounds.
