Man Fatally Shot Outside Bed-Stuy Strip Club, Police Say

BEDFORD-STUYVESANT, BROOKLYN — A man died early Tuesday after police found him shot outside a Bed-Stuy strip club, authorities said.

The shooting brought police in front of Amour Cabaret on Nostrand Avenue, where they discovered a man, 26, with several gunshot wounds in his chest, NYPD said.

Medics rushed him to Kings County Hospital, where doctors pronounced him dead, police said.

Police haven't yet made any arrests as of Tuesday, they said. It appears the man was the shooter's "intended target," they said.

It's the second recent early morning act of violence outside Amour Cabaret, a 566 Nostrand Ave. establishment that bills itself as a "bikini bar."

Sometime around 3 a.m. on Feb. 8 an as-yet-unidentified attacker slunk behind another man, 26, in front of the bar and stabbed him in the back and elbow with a knife.

That's about the same time authorities on Tuesday learned about the shooting. Police that morning responded to a 911 call at 3:11 a.m. about a man shot in front of Amour Cabaret on Nostrand Avenue and Herkimer Place, NYPD said.

People with information about the shooting can call NYPD or make an anonymous tip at NYPD's Crime Stoppers Hotline at 1-800-577-TIPS (8477) .
