VAN NUYS (CNS) - A man was fatally shot today outside a Van Nuys strip club, and three suspects were being sought.
The shooting occurred about 2:45 a.m. near the Red Tie Gentlemen's Club at 15832 Stagg St., according to the Los Angeles Police Department.
According to police and reports from the scene, the victim argued with a man who was accompanied by two other men who were in a dark car. During the argument, the suspect shot the victim and then got into the car, which sped off.
