“The murder that we had last night has no affiliation with any of the previous murders we’ve had in the village of Dolton, it was domestic related,” Dolton Mayor Riley Rogers said in a press conference Sunday. “From what I understand there was a brief argument inside and security and management asked the parties to leave. The bar was shut down and there was an argument that was heard from the outside of the bar by management that was inside.”

An autopsy conducted Sunday ruled Smith’s death a homicide by multiple gunshot wounds, the medical examiner’s office said.

Dolton police did not respond to a request for additional information.
