  • McDonald was charged with second-degree murder after the melee outside the Schooner Tavern that occurred when Schmitz's group taunted McDonald's companions, who were black, with racist and homophobic slurs and a woman smashed a glass in McDonald's face, leaving a cut that required 11 stitches.

      

    McDonald then stabbed Schmitz in the chest with a pair of scissors or a knife. He died at the scene.
