A June night at Playo’s Nightclub in Gary ended in tragedy when a volley of gunfire left two people dead and four others wounded. The shooting occurred just before 2 a.m. on June 12, 2022, at the club on the 1700 block of Grant Street. Witnesses reported hearing as many as 30 to 50 shots as patrons scrambled for cover.

Among the dead was 34-year-old Jonte Dorsey of Joliet, Illinois, who was found unresponsive with gunshot wounds near the club’s entryway and later died at a local hospital. The other fatality was 26-year-old Jah’Nice Quinn of Merrillville, who was found unresponsive inside and also died at the hospital. Four additional people were wounded, one in critical condition. The mayor ordered a temporary closure of the nightclub while multiple law enforcement agencies responded and an investigation began.
