A Thanksgiving morning shooting outside the Chill Vibez Lounge in Davenport, Iowa, left 44-year-old Damien Timothy Howard Sr., known as Dae Dae, dead. Police were dispatched around 1:45 a.m. on November 28, 2025, after reports of shots fired; firearms had been discharged into a group of people in the lounge parking lot. Howard was found with a life-threatening gunshot wound, taken to a local hospital, and later died of his injuries.

Howard’s 23-year-old son, Dane E. Howard, was also struck during the same altercation, transported from the scene in a private vehicle, and later died of his wounds. A third man suffered non-life-threatening gunshot injuries and was treated at a hospital. Howard is described as a devoted family man who loved old-school automobiles and music and is survived by a wife, several children, and grandchildren.

Davenport detectives arrested 21-year-old Raymond L. Robinson Jr. and 36-year-old Danny W. Howard Jr. the night of the shooting; arrest affidavits allege both deliberately fired pistols toward at least four people in the parking lot. Both were booked into the Scott County Jail and charged with two counts of first-degree murder, four counts of intimidation with a dangerous weapon, and one count of going armed with intent; a judge found probable cause at a December 5, 2025 preliminary hearing and arraignment was scheduled for December 18, 2025.

Did anyone who knew Damien or his family see or hear anything that night that could help investigators?
