NEWS RELEASE OF EPD SUMMARY OF THE EVENT AT THE XCESS GENTLEMAN’S CLUB

CASE # 20-21385, 20-21386

 Around 3:00 a.m. on November 27, The Evansville Police Department (E.P.D.) responded to shots fired at Xcess gentleman’s club (201 S. Fulton Ave).

 Officers located a male victim with a head injury, not from a gunshot wound, and another male victim who had, in fact, sustained a gunshot wound to his foot. Both victims were transported to the hospital by ambulance.

 After watching surveillance video and speaking to witnesses, it was determined the events began with a fight involving the first victim and an unknown suspect.  The initial victim was punched in the head and fell to the ground, causing his head injury.  

 As people were gathering around the victim to see him lying on the ground, a single shot was fired from an unknown location and shooter.  The round struck the second victim, an innocent bystander, in the foot.  All the people in the area took off running or took cover. 

  E.P.D. Detectives and Crime Scene arrived to process the scene. Both victims are expected to survive their injuries. 

 Anyone who might have witnessed this event is asked to call the Evansville Police Department’s Detective Office at 812-436-7979.
