A dispute that began inside Matey’s Bar and Restaurant in Michigan City, Indiana, on the early morning of August 3, 2025, ended with 25-year-old Dante Sellers of La Porte shot as he walked to his vehicle across the street. Police responded to multiple 911 calls reporting fights and shots fired just after 2:30 a.m. Sellers was found in a parking lot entrance with a gunshot wound, taken first to Franciscan Hospital and then to the University of Chicago Hospital, where he died of his injuries.
Investigators initially arrested 27-year-old Cevin Crawford on August 5, 2025, and charged him with one count of felony murder. Later that month, video from a different angle, when slowed down, showed another person firing the fatal shot and the murder charge against Crawford was dismissed. The probe continued, and detectives announced a new arrest on November 6, 2025: 35-year-old Daquvay Sherrod of Michigan City was taken into custody by a SWAT team and charged with murder. On November 14, 2025, Crawford was arrested again, this time on a charge of Aiding, Inducing or Causing Murder; both men were held on $1,000,000 cash bond.
