During the early morning hours inside a building on 532 Cummins St. on Mar. 28, Rambin allegedly shot the victim in the chest.
Prior to the shooting, a deputy prosecutor had said Davis approached the victim and demanded money. Rambin then entered the establishment and punched the man in the face before he and Davis left.
The victim walked outside of the bar to lock the door. A scuffle ensued and Rambin shot the man before he and Davis fled.
Police said the victim sought help from a manager at an adjacent business inside the building and asked him to call 911. Emergency Medical Services transported the 46-year-old man to a hospital in critical condition.
Police said Rambin and Davis turned themselves in on Apr. 1.
