MUNHALL[PA] (KDKA) A Munhall City Councilman is calling for the closure of a strip club following a fatal shooting early Sunday morning.
Councilman Dan Lloyd is asking for Club Pink to be shut down following a shooting that left John Hunter Sumpter, 32, of Wilkinsburg, dead.
According to police, 24-year-old Paul Barone was arrested in connection with the shooting. Surveillance video from a pizza shop near where the shooting took place allegedly showed Baron firing shots into a car near the parking lot at Club Pink.
Sumpter was found dead in the front seat of the car.
An officer in an unmarked car witnessed the shooting and pursued the vehicle the suspect got into.
Barone got out of the back seat and ran into a wooded area and allegedly tried to dump a gun along the way. The gun was later recovered.
“I heard a commotion out there,†John Beckman said. “I live right here in that house and I looked out the window and I [saw] a car there. Somebody jumped out the car and took off running up that hill, right there.â€
Lloyd is calling for the mayor to close the strip club citing not only this incident, but another non-fatal shooting at the club in August of last year.
