The backstory:

In 2024, on Sept. 15, two men were killed after a shooting at a tailgating event inside Eastern Market’s Shed 6. Rayshawn Palmer, 40, was shot and killed while trying to de-escalate a fight that broke out.

Investigators say the two men fought and pulled guns on one another, but Palmer was shot. Palmer's family filed a lawsuit in August against Eastern Market and two other companies they believe should be held accountable.

Eastern Market officials say tailgaters should note some changes to some rules in accordance with best practices to ensure all guests enjoy tailgating.
