Henry Dorty Jr., 29, was shot multiple times and killed at the Buhlow Lake boat launch in Pineville, Louisiana, on June 1, 2021. Officers responding shortly before 4 p.m. found Dorty and a witness; emergency efforts failed and Dorty died at the scene.

Investigators quickly identified a suspect, 39-year-old Henry Dorty Dubea, described as Dorty’s stepbrother or half-brother. An uninvolved witness gave a description of the shooter and the vehicle, and Dubea turned himself in at the Rapides Parish Sheriff’s Office. He was arrested and charged with second-degree murder and possession of a firearm by a felon. Authorities say the shooting stemmed from a domestic issue that began in Alexandria.

Dorty is remembered for his church involvement and his time as a star football player at Tioga High School. If anyone was at Buhlow Lake that afternoon or has information about the events leading up to the shooting, please share what is known.
