Reginald Agnew Jr., a 33-year-old African American man, was shot dead on September 14, 2020, in the parking lot of Club Tropics in East Dallas. He was leaving the nightclub around 2 a.m., during the venue’s 10th anniversary celebration, when an assailant described as a black male shot him multiple times in the back. Surveillance video shows chaos as people ran for cover and cars fled; bystanders made numerous 911 calls and CPR was attempted but Agnew died at the scene.

Dallas police opened a homicide investigation led by Detective Patty Belew and have asked the public for help identifying the shooter. A rapper known as SpotemGottem, born Nehemiah Harden, was at one point considered a person of interest after a song released shortly after the shooting, but Detective Belew later cleared him following questioning. Crime Stoppers is offering a reward for information leading to an arrest.

Reginald is remembered by family and friends as a loving father, son, and brother who enjoyed drag racing, fashion, and travel. Does anyone who was at Club Tropics that night or who recognizes the assailant in the surveillance footage have information to share?
