A man was indicted for the shooting death of another man at a bar in Roselawn in early October.On Wednesday, Hamilton County Prosecutor Joe Deters announced the indictment of Lonnell Anderson, 49, for the murder of Derek Smith.The prosecutor said on Oct. 8, Anderson jumped a fence and entered the patio of Brandy's Bar in Roselawn.Once on the patio, Anderson saw Smith sitting at a table with his friend. Anderson came up to Smith from behind and shot him twice in the head. Authorities believe Smith and Anderson did not know each other before the incident.At the time of the shooting, Anderson was under indictment for having weapons under a disability. He was on the street after posting bond.Following the shooting, Anderson was charged with one count of aggravated murder, one count of murder and one count of having weapons while under disability.The prosecutor said if Anderson is convicted, he faces the maximum possible life sentence in prison."Violent criminals, especially felons in possession of firearms, are a serious danger to this community. People should not have to live in fear of coming upon a defendant who should have never been released from jail in the first place," Deters said. "The public needs to wake up to what is happening at their courthouse. This victim was executed in the middle of a crowded bar simply because of his race. And, the worst part is, this murder was completely preventable. What happens in these courts profoundly impacts the livability of our city. Many times, it results in this type of tragedy."
