IIRC, the article (all we have to go on, right?) stated that he got into a confrontation once inside. So, your claim of "being a black man and entering through a side door that someone opened for you is a sure way to get yourself killed", is just silly

Do you know the color of the man who shot him? Or the color of the people who were inside the Applebees? Or the color of the people who got into the altercation outside?

No? Then why should the color of the man who was shot matter?

Unless, of course, one is trying to make this a racial issue.
..
No, I only know the color and gender of the individual in the picture who was identified as the person who was shot. No other identifying information was given and therefore no other information was included in my post. (interesting that the shooter is identified as "patron" and "customer" but no he/she pronouns)

The color of the man who was shot only matters because it was available. Hopefully, this is not a racial issue but unfortunately it often is.

Confirmation bias is real; I can find any number of articles that say so.
