Elijah Moore, 41, was fatally shot in the chest on March 16, 2015, outside the Dolphin nightclub in Chicago’s Bucktown neighborhood. The shooting occurred about 3 a.m. after a fight that began inside the club spilled onto the street near Ashland and Webster. Deonta Jackson, 35, was also killed and a 26-year-old man was wounded in the wrist and taken to Illinois Masonic Hospital.

The club had a history of violent incidents and Chicago Alderman Scott Waguespack had sought revocation of its late-night license over safety concerns. Jackson’s family later sued the city and the club owner, Sam Menetti, alleging negligence and wrongful death and seeking more than $250,000. Police said the gunman had not been apprehended and were reviewing the club’s security camera footage; witnesses reported multiple gunshots during the brawl.

Moore is survived by two sons, aged 20 and 22, and a 7-year-old daughter, and was remembered as a quiet, peaceful person. Does anyone have information about the shooting or the events outside the Dolphin that night?
