Dexter M. Burroughs, a 21-year-old Black male, was shot and killed on May 16, 2010, inside Club Ritz on Seymour Avenue in Roselawn, Cincinnati, Ohio. The shooting followed a dispute over a woman; the shooter reportedly left the club and returned with a gun. Security guards at the club used metal detecting wands that night but the weapon was not detected. Burroughs was fatally shot in a crowded room with about 700 potential witnesses present.

No arrests have been announced and the case remains unsolved as the Cincinnati Police Department continues to investigate. The killing prompted calls for improved club safety and stricter security enforcement, and Club Ritz’s owner said additional measures and a safety plan would be implemented while the city council has not acted to shut down the venue or revoke its liquor license. If anyone has information that could help the investigation, please submit a tip to the Cincinnati Police Department.
