Dennis Spike Wright Jr., 40, was fatally shot outside the Beverly Lodge in South Lake Tahoe on January 30, 2016. Born August 7, 1975, in Placerville, he worked in consulting and construction, known especially for cement work. The shooting was initially investigated as a robbery gone wrong.

Investigators arrested Andrew Adams of Suisun City in connection with the case; Adams was charged with murder and robbery. Dennis’s mother, Janice Wright, spoke during court proceedings, expressing her grief and anger over the loss.

What anyone in South Lake Tahoe or the surrounding area remembers from that night, or information about Dennis’s movements before the shooting, could still help clarify what happened.
