Patrick William Henderson, 26, was shot and killed in the early morning hours of July 30, 2023, outside an unlicensed after-hours nightclub on the 2500 block of North Second Street in Minneapolis. A verbal altercation at the party of more than 100 people reportedly escalated into gunfire shortly before 4:30 a.m. Officers found Henderson in the street with multiple gunshot wounds; he was taken to a hospital and died about 45 minutes later.

The chaotic scene also involved a man in his 40s who was struck by a fleeing vehicle; his injuries were not life-threatening. The nightclub, identified as Dear Mama Studios, was closed by the city after the shooting. Initially there were no arrests and police publicly appealed for information.

Nearly two years after the killing, 20-year-old Marquan Tucker was charged with two counts of second-degree murder. The criminal complaint says two witnesses report Tucker confessed, and Facebook and phone records placed him near the scene and showed he celebrated Henderson’s death. Court documents allege a possible gang-related motive, stating Henderson was a known member of the Lows and Tucker a documented member of the rival Highs.

Did anyone at Dear Mama Studios or nearby that night see something that could help clarify what happened?
