According to witnesses at the time, Ebens allegedly said to Chin,"It's because of you little m—f—s that we're out of work," which led to a fight. After the men were kicked out of the club they were celebrating in, Ebens and Nitz tracked down Chin outside of a McDonald's and beat him to death with a bat.
