just saw the surveillance video of how this went down.
about 3 dudes waited for him and his wife to walk to the back area of the club, looked like the bathroom area. so you dont see the actual shooting but its right there, fairly close. anyway As soon as he walked in to the bathroom a dude follows and shoots him. you don't get to see the shooting, but a security guard for the club walks up as it happens and doesn't do shit, just lets the dudes walk out. He then radios for help.
The shooters walk calmly out of the club and get a cab.
Fucking sad.

Also as far as I know its a .22 round and they wont be able to remove it. I guess he's gonna pull though... no idea if he will be a normal guy again.
- god chose that path for him, mother guadalupe told me on my toast this morning.version3
