Darryl Rudolph, a 55-year-old African American man, was killed on April 21, 2017, in West Palm Beach, Florida. He was working at Sugar D’s Adult Club when he was found in a storage room with a fatal gunshot wound. Emergency responders reached the scene but Darryl succumbed to his injuries.

The Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office reported the shooting appeared to be accidental. Investigators concluded a coworker in an adjacent room was handling and cleaning a firearm when it discharged and struck Darryl in the back. The evidence led authorities to determine there was no intent to harm, and no charges were filed.

Darryl’s family remembers him as a hardworking, kind father and community member and have since advocated for safer firearm practices. Does anyone have information about the circumstances at the club that night or knew Darryl and can add context?
