Darrell Lance Abbott, known as Dimebag Darrell, was 38 when he was shot and killed on December 8, 2004, while performing with Damageplan at the Alrosa Villa nightclub in Columbus, Ohio. The shooter, identified as 25-year-old Nathan Gale, rushed the stage and fatally shot Abbott multiple times in the head. Three other people were also killed: Damageplan crew member Jeff Mayhem Thompson, 40; club employee Erin Halk, 29; and fan Nathan Bray, 23. The gunman was later shot and killed by a police officer.

Reports say Gale had been hanging around the club beforehand and had been asked to leave multiple times. Motive remains inconclusive, though it has been reported that Gale was upset about Pantera’s breakup and that he had suffered from paranoid schizophrenia and shown erratic behavior in the months before the attack. Abbott’s death devastated the heavy metal community and prompted calls for increased concert security.

If anyone was at the Alrosa Villa that night or has information about the events leading up to the shooting, please share what is known.
