Story summary

On Sunday morning around 7:21 AM, three men were fatally shot and four others injured in a dispute that escalated into gunfire at an unlicensed strip club in Detroit's west side near Eaton Avenue and Prest Street. Police Chief Todd Bettison reported that the victims, thought to be between 30-40 years old, died from gunshot wounds shortly after officers arrived within minutes of receiving a ShotSpotter alert.

The injured were transported privately to hospitals with non-life-threatening injuries; two men and two women in their twenties and thirties. Detroit Mayor Mary Sheffield urged residents to come forward with information, emphasizing the need for community cooperation to address such violence. The police chief stated that while they had leads on potential suspects, no arrests had been made as of yet.

The location had previously received seven calls this year, indicating its known status to law enforcement. Chief Bettison described it as an "after-hours" establishment and noted it was illegal under Detroit's regulations for such venues.
