Carpenter wasn’t charged with murder until exactly a year ago when prosecutors were able to put together missing pieces of the puzzle. An incarcerated witness came forward to report that he had played dice with some people who talked about the murder and were responsible for it. 

Breshawn Smith, 29, was found guilty as charged Friday of the Nov. 16, 2024 Showgirl 1 shooting, a rampage that took the life of 26-year-old Marialuz Margarita Munoz and wounded two men, Taurean Hayden and Benjamin Crance. His charges were murder, two counts of attempted murder and criminal recklessness. Allen County prosecutors said Smith returned to the club at 3:11 a.m. with a friend, William Tolbert, driving the black Chevy Equinox that belonged to Smith's “baby mama.”
