Video Poker Worker Murdered

Wilmington police are still trying to put together missing pieces in the Monday night shooting that killed a video poker establishment employee at 1614 Market St. About 9 p.m., the suspect walked into the establishment where Reginald Dent worked, Odham said.

A short time later, Dent was found shot outside the video poker establishment, which is also called Jerry's Furniture Refinishing, detectives said. Dent's death is the second in a year at or outside one of three Jerry's Furniture Refinishing stores, which operate as video poker establishments, in Wilmington. In June 2005, at a store on Cinema Drive, a robbery suspect was killed by a clerk.

The clerk, Joseph Daggs III, was charged with possession of a firearm by a felon, not murder. Detectives didn't know the course of events from the attempted robbery to Dent's body being found outside. They did not want to elaborate on how many times Dent was shot or where on his body.
