Byron Dex Osama Cox was 21 when he was fatally shot after an altercation outside the Crazy Horse gentleman’s club on Detroit’s southwest side on September 7, 2015. The dispute began inside the club, reportedly over Cox’s anger that his girlfriend, a dancer there, was about to perform for another man. Witnesses said Cox poured champagne on her; surveillance footage later showed Cox firing a shot in the air and another outside the club.

Cox was shot in the chest during the melee. Mortally wounded, he fled to a nearby gas station where he collapsed and asked the attendant to call for help; he died at a local hospital. Another man was also shot but was expected to survive.

Two men were arrested in connection with Cox’s death. Otis Earl Davis, 46 at the time, faced charges including open murder, possession of a firearm by a felon, and felony firearm; his attorney argued self-defense. Dietrick Odums, 31 at the time, was charged with assault with intent to murder, possession of a firearm by a felon, and felony firearm. Both later pleaded guilty to lesser charges and received prison terms.

If anyone was at Crazy Horse that night or has surveillance or other information about what happened, please share what is known.
