3 shot, 1 dead, in fight at Bronx club
One man was killed and two others were wounded early Saturday in a shooting at a Bronx after-hours club hidden in the basement of a shuttered bodega, officials said.
The three victims were inside the Anthony Ave. nightspot beneath the T Deli & Grocery near East Tremont Ave. in Mount Hope about 5:45 a.m. when a fight broke out and a gunman opened fire, cops said.
When police arrived, a 28-year-old man was found with gunshot wounds to his chest and face. Medics rushed him to St. Barnabas Hospital, but doctors were unable to save him. His name wasn’t immediately disclosed.
Meanwhile, two other men went on their own to St. Barnabas for treatment — a 27-year-old man with a gunshot wound to the thigh, and a 25-year-old shot in the calf, cops said. Both are expected to survive, officials said.
No arrests have been made.
Neighbors said the bodega had been shuttered for about five months, although parties have been held at the underground club at least once a month.
Anyone with information regarding the shooting is urged to call NYPD Crime Stoppers at (800) 577-TIPS.
