Philly man shot on steps of strip club www.privateofficer.com
Philadelphia PA Feb 25 2012 A gunman gave a 26-year-old man five seconds to get off the front steps of a South Philly strip club before shooting him in the neck early yesterday, police said.
Cops responding to Club Onyx, on Columbus Boulevard near Oregon Avenue, about 2:20 a.m. found the man shot outside the club. Officer Tanya Little, a police spokeswoman, said the victim had argued with a security guard, and the gunman approached and joined the confrontation.
Police said that the gunman and the victim then argued, and that the gunman pointed a .45-caliber black handgun at him and “told him that he had five seconds to get off the steps.”
After counting down, Little said, the gunman fired, jumped into a white SUV and fled south on Columbus Boulevard.
The victim was taken to Thomas Jefferson University Hospital in critical condition.
Police yesterday issued an arrest warrant for Kyle Carter, 25, who has addresses on Rosalie Street near Bingham in Crescentville, and on Sommers Road near Wooster Street, in West Oak Lane. Tipsters should contact the South Detective Division at 215-686-3013 or call 215-686-TIPS (8477).
