Akash R. Talati, a 40-year-old Indian-American owner of the Diamondz Gentlemen’s Club and the Knight’s Inn on Bragg Boulevard, was killed in a shooting in Fayetteville, North Carolina, on November 11, 2017. The shooting occurred about 1:51 AM after a man who had been escorted out of the club returned and exchanged gunfire with a security guard. Five people were wounded in the incident; Talati was an innocent bystander who later died of his injuries.

Fayetteville police named 23-year-old Markeese Dewitt as a suspect and charged him with the attempted murder of the four surviving victims. Reports say Dewitt had been thrown out of the club, which led to the altercation, and that armed security guards also engaged the suspect. Authorities were investigating to determine who fired the shot that killed Talati.

Talati’s friends, family, and employees remembered him as kind and generous. Does anyone have information about that night or saw events outside Diamondz around 1:51 AM on November 11, 2017?
