Three people were killed and four others injured after an argument led to gunfire at an after-hours strip club in Detroit early Sunday, police officials said. Officers responded to the shooting at 7:21 a.m. on a largely residential street and found three men who had suffered fatal gunshot wounds, Detroit Police Chief Todd Bettison told reporters.
The four injured people, identified as two men and two women, were taken to area hospitals in private vehicles. Bettison said all the victims were believed to be in their 20s and 30s. The chief said the shooting followed a fight or altercation in which individuals chose to use gun violence.
He described the location as an after-hours venue and said it was known to the Detroit Police Department. According to Bettison, police had received seven calls connected to the address during the year. He did not provide further information about those calls or explain what prompted them.
Bettison said investigators had leads in the case but declined to discuss them publicly. No suspect was identified in the supplied report, and police did not announce any arrest. Detroit Mayor Mary Sheffield urged anyone with information to contact authorities.
She said the community should not have to endure violence of this kind and called for people with relevant information to speak with investigators.
