Reward Offered in Calendar Girls Shooting

As Pasco County Sheriff’s deputies continue to investigate a fatal shooting outside a Hudson strip club, Crime Stoppers of Tampa Bay has stepped forward with a reward to help close the case.

Information that leads to an arrest of the people involved in the fatal shooting of Pierre Jordan Pickett, 24, of Zephyrhills may be worth up to $3,000.

Pickett was a patron at the 16309 U.S. 19 club early Saturday morning. According to deputies, his girlfriend arrived and the two got into an argument. At some point, other people at the club intervened and the dispute spilled outside. It was there Pickett was shot and killed.

A call to deputies was placed around 2 a.m. Saturday.

Witnesses in the case say three to four men were involved. They fled southbound on U.S. 19 following the shooting in a newer model black or dark-colored four-door sedan.

Anyone with any information in the case who wants to be eligible for a cash reward is asked to call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-873-TIPS (8477). Tips may also be submitted anonymously online at www.crimestopperstb.com, by texting CSTB plus your tip to 274637 (CRIMES) or by sending a mobile tip using the new Tipsubmit Mobile application, which is a free download for iPhones, iPads and Droids.
