On May 16, 2010, 21-year-old Dexter Burroughs was tragically killed in a shooting at Club Ritz, located on Seymour Avenue in the Roselawn neighborhood of Cincinnati, Ohio. The incident occurred inside the nightclub during the early hours of the morning, and the shooting was part of an altercation that broke out during a crowded night at the club. Dexter was found dead on the dance floor after being shot multiple times.
Club Ritz, a venue with a history of violence, was known to police for previous incidents. It was not the first time a fatal shooting had taken place there. The nightclub eventually closed after the city and community raised concerns about safety. The Cincinnati Police Department, which took charge of investigating the case, has not publicly identified a suspect, and the case remains unsolved.
The Ohio Attorney General’s Office continues to list Dexter's homicide as an unsolved case and is actively encouraging anyone with information to come forward. Law enforcement remains hopeful that increased awareness might generate leads that could help solve the case and bring justice for Dexter Burroughs and his grieving family.
