In the early morning hours of Sunday, May 9, 2021, a dispute inside a Bronx nightclub at 4555 Third Avenue in the Belmont section escalated and left 30-year-old Shamar Watt dead. Witnesses say an argument over whose turn it was to use the restroom turned violent and, at about 3:48 a.m., another man shot Watt in the head. He was found unconscious and taken to St. Barnabas Hospital, where he died on Tuesday, May 11, 2021; his death was ruled a homicide.

The New York Police Department opened an investigation into the killing. In January 2022 authorities announced they had arrested a 40-year-old Bronx man, charged with murder, criminal use of a firearm, and criminal possession of a weapon. The investigation is ongoing.

If anyone was at the club that night or has information about the shooting, please come forward to assist the inquiry.
