Police are investigating the fatal shooting of a manager at a popular strip club who was allegedly gunned down in the street by former coworkers, authorities confirmed. The violent attack has shocked the local community and raised concerns about workplace disputes escalating into deadly violence.
According to law enforcement sources, the victim, a 38-year-old man, was walking along a commercial street late Friday evening when he was confronted by two former employees of the club. Eyewitnesses reported hearing multiple gunshots and seeing the suspects flee the scene in a dark-colored vehicle.
“The victim was shot several times and died at the scene,” said a police spokesperson. “This appears to have been a targeted attack, possibly stemming from a prior dispute between the victim and the suspects.”
The suspects are still at large, and police have released descriptions of the individuals and the vehicle involved, urging anyone with information to come forward. Investigators are examining the relationship between the victim and the former coworkers to determine a motive.
The strip club, known in the city for its high-profile clientele and entertainment, has temporarily closed its doors in the wake of the shooting. Management released a brief statement expressing condolences to the victim’s family and confirming full cooperation with authorities.
Neighbors and bystanders described the scene as chaotic, with pedestrians fleeing and first responders arriving within minutes. “It was terrifying,” one witness said. “I just heard the gunfire and ran. I can’t believe it happened right here on the street.”
Police are also reviewing surveillance footage from nearby businesses and traffic cameras to track the suspects’ escape route. Officers are coordinating with regional law enforcement to widen the search and prevent further incidents.
The victim’s family described him as a devoted father and community member. “He was loved by many and didn’t deserve this,” a family member said. “We want justice for him and hope the authorities catch those responsible.”
Authorities have warned the public to avoid the area while the investigation continues and have reassured residents that additional patrols are being deployed. Meanwhile, the search for the suspects remains active, with police emphasizing the seriousness of the crime and the need for public assistance.
