On the night of Sunday, November 3, 2013, Tyrone Torress Washington Jr., 27, was shot outside the Epic nightclub in Minneapolis’ Warehouse District and pronounced dead from a gunshot wound to the chest. The incident occurred about 1 a.m., roughly an hour before the club was scheduled to close, during a night when rapper Yo Gotti was performing. Police say an argument between Washington and another individual escalated and culminated in the fatal shooting.

Court records noted Washington had an extensive criminal history and was identified as a member of the 19 Block DipSet street gang; he had previously been ordered to avoid the downtown area but was at the club that night. Authorities investigated possible gang-related motives tied to conflicts with rival groups called Young N Thuggin and Taliban. Witness cooperation was limited, and investigators obtained a search warrant for the Facebook page of a 22-year-old man from a rival gang who had been at the club; that man denied involvement. No arrests have been announced and the case remains unsolved.

If anyone was at the Epic that night or has information about the confrontation that led to Washington’s shooting, please come forward.
