Vincent Bibbs, 49, was arrested late last month, according to the Indianapolis Metro Police Department. His first court hearing took place on Tuesday, and he is due back in court for a pretrial conference in September. Bibbs was heading up a Speedway at 4960 E 56th Street the night of June 29 when witnesses saw him leave his post to chase a man who was carrying 'a big clear bag of something.' One witness reported hearing yells of 'hey, hey, hey' and 'just give it back' before a single shot was fired, according to a police report obtained by the Indianapolis Star. Bibbs then went inside and waited on two customers before calling 911. Damon McClain, 49, is described as an Army vet with a 'huge heart of gold' in a memorial page. He was pronounced dead in the front seat of his car late at night on June 29 He denied having anything to do with the shooting when he was first interviewed by police. He told them he never heard shots and never had a gun, according to WISH-TV. Police found the victim, later identified as 49-year-old Damon McClain, in the front seat of his car. He was pronounced dead on the scene at 11:35 pm. Officers found a black 9mm handgun and a single shell casing nearby, as well as 'several' four-packs of Red Bull strewn about. Surveillance video shows McClain stuffing the energy drinks in a bag and walking out of the store. Bibbs is then seen following him outside. The clerk later told police that he 'messed up by going outside,' adding that the gun was his and that he pointed it at McClain before it 'went off.' Bibbs was arrested the next morning, with an added charged of carrying a handgun without a license. A memorial website for McClain describes him as a father and Army veteran with a 'huge heart of gold' who had multiple careers throughout his life. Indiana state Rep. Ed Delaney said Bibbs was doing what he thought was right, and that the problem is low security combined with late operating hours. 'The high-end convenience stores, they have bright lights, multiple staff; they’re open 24 hours; they don’t let people loiter in the parking lot; they know how to do it,' the lawmaker told WISH. 'The problem is the low-end convenience stores in the tougher neighborhoods just don’t want to spend the money on safety but want the revenue they can get.'
