Court Documents Detail Fatal Shooting at Britton Tavern

Newly filed court documents provide additional details about the fatal shooting earlier this week at Britton Tavern in Fishers. Prosecutors have charged MacLean Murt, 31, whose address is listed in Indianapolis, with murder in the death of 30-year-old Justin Burton of Noblesville.

According to reporting by WTHR, the incident occurred around 2:45 a.m. Monday. The station reviewed court documents stating that when officers arrived, Murt told them, “I’m sorry about this.”

Investigators wrote that the confrontation began after Murt accused Burton of taking a vape device from a friend. Burton then reportedly shoved Murt, after which a shot was fired.

Murt appeared in Hamilton Superior Court on Friday afternoon for an initial hearing. The court entered a not-guilty plea on his behalf. WTHR reports that Murt is now represented by a public defender.
