John Dorotiak Jr., a 44-year-old Las Vegas bartender, was shot and killed just after midnight on February 25, 2024, as he was leaving his shift at Dotty’s near Hualapai and Elkhorn. He worked two jobs to support his family and is survived by his wife Roxanna, their 16-month-old daughter Haven, and his mother Lanore. Loved ones remembered him for his infectious smile, sense of humor, willingness to help, and devotion to fatherhood.

Authorities identified 36-year-old Mark Ford as the person responsible. A GoFundMe was set up to assist the family, and a memorial service was scheduled for March 29, 2024, at 12:00 PM at 7600 S Eastern Ave, Las Vegas, NV 89123.

If anyone knew John, his routines, or saw activity near Dotty’s the night of February 25, please share what might help the family and investigators.
