PHOENIX -
A man was shot in the chest while driving away from a strip club early Saturday morning.
Gunfire broke out at the Pink Rhino, near Van Buren and 36th Street, around 3:40 a.m.
A 21-year-old man was driving in a vehicle with a 25-year-old passenger sitting in the front seat.
As they were leaving the parking lot, a suspect approached the passenger side of the vehicle and started yelling at the men inside.
Police say at some point, the suspect shot the 21-year-old passenger.
The man was taken to a hospital with a non-life threatening injury and is expected to be okay.
It's not clear what led up to the shooting.
The suspect is only described as a black male. He hasn't been located.

We used to have rule in Phoenix: "Never be out after midnight on a street named after a President". If you been there, you know those streets are in the nasty part of town. And bad presidents like Van Buren are the worse streets.

Verybigdawg- That's interesting! On the east coast, I have been told several times that a street named Martin Luther King is very dangerous!

I have been to that club. The area is sketchy as previously stated. Van buren is known for street walkers.
