Dwight C. Wells, a 40-year-old community activist and entrepreneur, was shot and killed on the night of October 10, 2025, outside his Liberty City restaurant, Winning and Won Turkey Legs, on Northwest 17th Avenue in Miami. Police say the shooting occurred shortly after 9:20 p.m. while Wells was playing dominoes; a masked shooter approached, opened fire, and ran away on foot. First responders took Wells to Jackson Memorial Hospital, where he was pronounced dead.

Wells was known locally for founding the Bikes Up, Guns Down movement, also described as Wheels Up, Guns Down, and for efforts to steer young people away from violence. Surveillance video captured chaos at the scene and investigators collected that footage while appealing for tips through Miami-Dade Crime Stoppers. As of mid-October, police had not announced a motive and no arrests had been made.

Vigils formed outside his restaurant as neighbors, riders, and family members mourned a man many called a pillar of Liberty City. If anyone saw the shooting or has information that could help identify the shooter, please share tips with Miami-Dade Crime Stoppers.
