Is that timeline right?

On a Sunday?
At a club?

That's amazing, even for this part of town.

It began last night right at 3 AM. There was quite a bit of crime scene tape, as the "entertainment" began at the club and spread out for two blocks in THREE different directions. Another lovely evening.

Not clear on your meaning, Kordax. Have you read the articles/seen the mug shots?

Ah, Ellis my friend has been shot. It's interesting that he did not learn from the little stabbing incident. It is newsworthy that he is out on bond for a probation violation on over 10 felony drug charges. Just another poor victim.
