On the evening of August 8, 2025, police were called to the 5000 block of South Sedgewick Road in Lyndhurst, a suburb of Cleveland, where they found Dorian Holt, 38, male, lying on the floor of his garage with multiple gunshot wounds. Officers and medics rushed him to Hillcrest Hospital, where he was later pronounced dead. Local records and memorials mark the date of death as August 8, 2025.
Detectives said the shooting followed an argument inside the garage between Dorian Holt, 38, male, and a known acquaintance, identified as 36-year-old Francisco Volinski. According to police, Volinski fled the scene by car. With help from the U.S. Marshals Service and the Ohio State Highway Patrol, authorities located and arrested him hours later in the Cincinnati area. He was charged with murder in the case.
Court filings and subsequent coverage show that at an arraignment, bond was set at $1 million, and on August 26, 2025, Francisco Volinski pleaded not guilty in Cuyahoga County Common Pleas Court; a pretrial was scheduled for September 2. An indictment included multiple counts, among them murder and felonious assault. Bond remained at $1 million.
Family and friends gathered later in August to honor Dorian Holt, 38, male, with services posted by the funeral home, underscoring the shock to loved ones and the wider community following the garage-argument shooting that ended his life. Obituary listings confirm his passing and the memorial arrangements.
