In the early hours of March 7, 2015, a dispute that began inside the Northeast Palace bar in Minneapolis spilled into the street on the 2500 block of 4th Street NE and ended with Robert Montaine Urman Sr., 36, shot multiple times as he tried to flee. He was taken to Hennepin County Medical Center but the gunshot wound to the heart proved fatal; he was pronounced dead soon after, Minneapolis’ second homicide of the year.

Robert Urman Sr. was a father of five who enjoyed music, car shows, and raising pit bulls. Witnesses and surveillance footage outside the bar showed a man fleeing the scene with a gun shortly after the shooting, and a warrant was issued charging 30-year-old Dejonte Antwon Davis with second-degree murder. Surveillance and witness testimony were described as key elements in the case against him.

If anyone knew Robert, saw the events that night, or has information relevant to the shooting, please come forward and share what is known.
