Shortly after 3 a.m. on Sunday, May 30, 2021, a shift at the Green Light Lounge on Seventh Street Road in Louisville, Kentucky, ended in a deadly shooting. Dion Shane Rudolph, 44, a manager at the gentlemen’s club, was struck by gunfire while security was escorting 30-year-old Blair Wells from the premises. Rudolph was taken to University Hospital and died shortly before 4 a.m. Wells was also shot, taken first to Mary & Elizabeth Hospital, later transferred to University Hospital, and died the following day.

Surveillance video from the nightclub reportedly captured the incident, which investigators say began when a man produced a handgun and opened fire; the gunman and Wells then attempted to flee while additional shots were fired toward the doorway. Family and neighbors described Rudolph as a devoted father of two and a well-known figure in his South Louisville neighborhood.

On June 16, 2021, Louisville Metro Police announced the arrest of 32-year-old Elijah Carter, who was charged with two counts of murder in the deaths of Dion Rudolph and Blair Wells and with several related offenses. Does anyone have information about the Green Light Lounge that could help fill gaps in the timeline that night?
