Dvontai Wright was 25 when he was killed outside Hustle & Joe’s Nightclub on Grant Street in Gary, Indiana, in the early hours of February 26, 2017. He had been celebrating his cousin’s birthday and was with that cousin when gunfire erupted; five other people were wounded in the same incident and bullets struck nearby homes and businesses. Wright, a father of two and an employee at the Majestic Star Casino, was pronounced dead at the scene.

Reports after the shooting suggested a possible dispute between rival gangs that spilled out of the club, but the club owner said there had been no altercation inside. The Gary Police Department released few details about the investigation, and as of late 2025 there have been no public announcements of arrests, suspects, or charges in connection with Wright’s death.

If anyone was there that night or has information about who fired the shots, please come forward.
