Murder of Tiffany Pugh, wife of Atlanta DJ, in ‘Dateline’

(NBC News) — Friday’s all-new two-hour “Dateline” uncovers the murder of Tiffany Pugh, a young mother and successful businesswoman, who was shot to death in her bed.

The victim’s husband, Andre Pugh, was a famous Atlanta DJ. Police needed to determine whether Tiffany’s murder was linked to the case of another DJ who worked at the same club as her husband and who was also shot at his home.


Here is a preview of Stephanie Gosk’s report:

As dawn broke over Atlanta, the news began to spread.

KENYA WHISENANT: It was a home invasion and Tiffany was killed.

Her friends couldn’t shake a horrible image: Tiffany’s son, AJ, in her arms, crying hysterically and trying to wake her.

KARMETRIA BURTON: Knowing that the children were in the house, I told myself that there was no heart, no respect for life, a monster.

CAPT. ALLYN GLOVER: We had to get to the bottom of things as quickly as possible.

Tiffany’s husband, Andre, told investigators he wondered if her murder might have had something to do with his job as a DJ at Club Onyx.

Andre mentioned that there had been problems shortly before Tiffany’s death.

CHRISTINE LEE: It’s too much of a coincidence that two DJs suffer these incidents.

People who worked in the clubs were nervous.

NICK LOVE: Wait, people are killing us?

Detectives still had no answers. But they were about to get some because Atlanta’s nightlife was about to give up its secrets.

Watch the new two-hour “Dateline: Sound and Fury” Friday at 9 p.m. on NBC4.
