BROOKLYN — An unidentified man died after he was shot several times early Sunday while he was in the alley near Roxy's, a strip club in Brooklyn.
His identity was not released pending notification of his family. The shooting occurred at 3:45 a.m.
Police Chief Tony Tomlinson said he thought the victim had been shot four or five times. The unnamed victim died at Granite City Hospital.
Police believe the suspect fled in a vehicle on Illinois 3, Tomlinson said.
"Fairmont City police officers chased the vehicle and were able to get the Missouri license plate number," Tomlinson said. "A state-wide broadcast has been issued. And, we have asked St. Louis city police department to go by the address where the license plates are registered to."
