Two men who shot an acquaintance from the backseat as he was driving home from a strip club early Saturday were charged with murder Sunday.
Phillip Frank Panzica, 27, was fatally shot at 5 a.m. Saturday. Bryant Christopher Watts, 28, and Aaron Jones, 31, are charged with capital murder.
HPD homicide investigators reported that Panzica was with Jones at an "adult entertainment club," where Panzica's fiancee worked as a dancer. She left the club with her cash and was looking for Panzica in the club's parking lot. Jones told her Panzica was in her car, a black Kia Sorrento.
The fiancee got in the passenger seat of her car, and the two suspects got in the back of the car. As Panzica drove near Richmond and Jeanetta, Watts said, "You need to come clean," and pointed a handgun at him. He shot him several times.
The two men got out of the car, dumped Panzica's body at the side of the road and demanded that the woman get out of the car. They fled the scene in her car with her cash. She flagged down a Metro bus driver for help.
Later that day, a sheriff's deputy in Menard County saw a black Kia Sorrento speeding and pursued the car. Multiple law enforcement agencies joined the chase and eventually stopped the car in Concho County. Watts, who was driving the car, confessed to robbing and shooting Panzica.

Weird all the way around. Especially the part where four people were supposedly inside a Kia Sorrento.
