Charges Filed in Fatal Summer Shooting

(Michigan City, IN) - An arrest has been made for a shooting death in Michigan City over the summer.

 

Daquvay Sherrod, 35, of Michigan City is charged in La Porte Superior Court 1 with murder and being held in the La Porte County Jail on $1 million bond.

 

He was taken into custody on November 6 after Judge Jamie Oss ruled the evidence presented to her by investigators was sufficient enough for him to answer to the allegations.

 

Sherrod allegedly killed Dante Sellers, who was found badly wounded across the street from Matey’s, a popular bar and grill near the city’s lakefront.

 

Police said the shooting happened following a heated exchange of words inside the establishment.  The 25 year old La Porte man died the next day at a Chicago hospital.

 

Originally, another man was held responsible but charges against him were dismissed a few weeks later after surveillance video from a different angle revealed the actual gunman, authorities said.

 

Sherrod could face anywhere from a 45 to 65 year sentence.
