David Carrasquillo, 30, known professionally as BossDawn, was shot and killed after an altercation inside Saga Nightclub on Worthington Street in Springfield on the night of May 29, 2022. Police responded to 911 calls about shots fired at approximately 10:42 p.m. and found Carrasquillo lying outside the men’s restroom with a fatal gunshot wound to the head; he was pronounced dead at the scene. He was a father and full-time musician working on a new album and video at the time of his death.

Surveillance footage shows Carrasquillo entering the men’s restroom, followed shortly by another man. Seconds later the door opened during what appears to be a struggle, and Carrasquillo collapsed outside the restroom. Video then captured the shooter stepping over Carrasquillo’s body, concealing a firearm under his shirt, and leaving the club in a white Chevy Cruze. Investigators recovered fingerprints and documents linking Brandon Murray, 38, to the getaway vehicle and later identified him as the suspect; an arrest warrant was issued and he was taken into custody on June 30, 2022.

In March 2025 Carrasquillo’s estate filed a wrongful death lawsuit against the nightclub’s former owners and several employees, alleging negligent security practices that night, including failure to use metal detectors or pat patrons down. What additional information about the incident or the club’s security would help clarify what happened that night?
