Travis Turner, 29, was shot and killed during an altercation at the VYPZ lounge, a nightclub near the 4200 block of North State Road 7 in Lauderdale Lakes, Florida, in the early hours of July 4, 2023. Deputies from the Broward Sheriff’s Office found Turner suffering from gunshot wounds around 2:15 a.m.; despite lifesaving efforts he was pronounced dead at the scene. A woman at the club was also injured and hospitalized with non-life-threatening wounds.

Turner had recently turned 29 and was celebrating with friends; his family says he ran a mobile mechanic business and remembered him as a hardworking man who loved his family. Homicide detectives are investigating, searching for a suspect or suspects, and a reward of up to $5,000 has been offered for information leading to an arrest. A dark-colored BMW was towed from the scene and liquor bottles and other debris were noted in the area, though any connection to the shooting remains unclear.

If anyone who was at VYPZ that night or nearby has information that could help identify those responsible, please come forward to the Broward Sheriff’s Office.
