Three people were killed and four others injured after an argument led to gunfire at an after-hours strip club in Detroit on Sunday morning, officials said. Detroit police responding to the shooting at 7.21am found three men who had been fatally shot, Police Chief Todd Bettison told reporters. The four injured victims—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. Police did not release their identities or provide information about the severity of the injuries. 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 establishment and said it had previously come to the department’s attention. According to Bettison, police had received seven calls connected to the address during the year. He said investigators had leads but would not discuss them further.
Detroit Mayor Mary Sheffield appealed to anyone with information to contact authorities. She said more people needed to speak up to help bring justice and described the violence as heartbreaking for the community. The source material did not report any arrests, identify a suspect or state whether police had recovered a weapon.
The investigation remains ongoing.
