Kendrick Forrest, a 39-year-old African American security guard, was shot and killed in Dallas, Texas, in the early hours of May 22, 2016. He had been working at Club 1919 on Riverfront Boulevard and had stepped in to cover for another employee around 2 a.m., shortly after attending his father’s funeral earlier that day. An exchange of gunfire took place outside the nightclub; another man, 23-year-old Randy Green, was wounded and survived.

Forrest’s family says he was likely caught in gunfire intended for someone else and that he had been wearing a bulletproof vest, which they believe may have been pierced. The Dallas Police Department has not confirmed that theory, has not identified any suspects, and is asking anyone with information to contact the Special Investigations Unit or Crime Stoppers. Forrest is remembered by family as a devoted father and community member who had worked in security for eight years.

If anyone has information about the shooting or saw activity around Club 1919 that night, please come forward to investigators.
