An off-duty police officer held a murder suspect at gunpoint Friday night after a deadly shooting at an Indianapolis steakhouse.

The officer and restaurant employees broke up the initial brawl between Randy Godfrey, 34, and Robert “Blaine” Smith, 32, in a Texas Roadhouse aisle, giving Smith time to escape outside, WISH reported. But Godfrey broke away from the officer, telling her didn’t care she was a cop and that he was going to kill Smith.

Godfrey hopped over a wall and ran outside, where he shot Smith multiple times before the officer, who was dining out with her significant other, retrieved her gun and caught up with him. “Just shoot me,” Godfrey told the officer when she got to him. Instead, she held him at gunpoint until on-duty police officers arrived.

Godfrey, Smith, Godfrey’s fiancee, her sister, and Godfrey’s two young children were having dinner when the fight broke out, police said, without explaining what caused the fight.

Godfrey’s fiancee told police she saw her boyfriend follow Smith to the car and shoot. “Did I hit you?” Godfrey asked, firing two more shots when Smith stood up.

Medics took Smith to a hospital, but it was too late.

Godfrey was charged with murder.
