NORTHWEST MIAMI-DADE, Fla. (WSVN) -- Police are searching for four suspects responsible for nearly beating a man to death outside of a strip club.
The brutal beating occurred outside of Coco's, a strip club located at 1430 NW 119th St., on June 11.
According to investigators, the victim and the suspects were involved in a verbal dispute inside Coco's. They were then escorted out of the club. Surveillance video captured the suspects as they attacked the victim, Getro Dolcine. Miami-Dade Police Detective Roy Rutland said, "One of these subjects actually surprises the victim, strikes him and clearly knocks him out."
Miami-Dade Police arrested one of the five suspects, 30-year-old Mackendly Alexis. According to police, the suspects repeatedly punched Dolcine and hit him with a wooden barricade and a metal rope stand. "One of these subjects then punches him, knocks him out, and that's when these other males decide, well, let's take advantage of him. They decide to beat him individually while he's on the ground," said Rutland.
Detective Rutland continued to describe the incident. "It appears the final blow is done by one of the subjects who picks up an actual rope stand, a heavy, deadly object, picks it up, strikes him just beneath his chin, clearly a deadly area, and splits his neck wide open, potentially killing him," Rutland said.
Anthony Crenshaw has served as a manager at Coco's for the past three weeks. "I've never seen the guy here before until that night. Other than that, I've never seen him before," Crenshaw said.
Crenshaw mentioned that the club has strengthened security since the incident. He said, "We've changed a lot since that happened. We've added some staff."
Alexis has been charged with attempted felony murder.
Miami-Dade Police are searching for four men who go by the following nicknames: Money, Ant, K.P., and Xay.
If you have any information on the whereabouts of the four suspects, call Miami-Dade Crime Stoppers at 305-471-TIPS. Remember, you can always remain anonymous, and you may be eligible for a reward.

So anyway, what strikes me about this is it sounds like club staff knew what was going on and let it happen. Never been to this club, so maybe it's up against a public sidewalk and the incident was technically off the property. But then again, what are the odds the rope stand didn't belong to the club? What good is hiring more security going to do if all they're good for is hiding inside?
Hard to tell from the text if the guy only got hit with the rope stand right at the end or before he was knocked out and with the kill shot. Guess the key detail is he didn't quite make it. Don't make it a habit of speaking ill of the dead, but odds are he didn't expect what he got when he started jawing against superior numbers.
The link above has video of the event. One guy just threw it at him as he laid unconscious, then a second guy does the damage using it as a club.
The last blow was a guy picking up the heavy rope stand (which was likely the property of the club) and hitting the neck of the knocked out guy with the edge of the flat bottom of the stand...ouch... The guy who was attacked lived though.

Five more thugs off the street if you ask me.

a small dent but it's a start.
I can't agree with the economics slant. There are many latin clubs that are economically equal to the black clubs that I can enter without a problem, other than not being able to talk with many of the dancers. Even that does not prevent a good time.
I don't track with the people that insist a club has to be one thing or another based on the faces they see. Location just has a way of doing that. Been to plenty of clubs where I walked in and obviously was neither a regular or of a similar background to he majority of people there. Once they figured out I was there to check out the show and tip a little it was fine. But you've got to be willing to accept a place on its own terms, or just don't go there. Like I said above, nothing wrong with avoiding a problem if you know it's there. Good way to stay upright. If you asked (and you didn't) about where I've seen the most problems over time, it hasn't been the so-called black clubs or latino clubs.
Wouldn't say there is any more likelihood of violence at those clubs, but the ones in the urban areas do tend to have more severe consequences when a problem breaks out. I would say there are more opportunities for misunderstandings with those who don't understand how to navigate the environment. It's kinda like the noobs who can't figure out how to get a decent dance in a strip club. If they care enough eventually they'll get how things work, they'll move on to something else, or they'll run into difficulty.
Good times are the whole point. The rest is just...details. Have fun.
All well and good, but it would be difficult to visit a majority of clubs to meet your "rule". Part of what I say is based on my having once been in the top 5 here for club reviews. I've been to many many clubs through out the US, although most in the east, but also a number in the west. Of course times change and there has been a whole lot of change recently.
Finding that GREAT time, our Holy Grail!
