Houston Police are investigating a shooting early Friday inside the bathroom at an area gentleman’s club involving a local rapper. According to reports from witnesses at the scene, the victim was in the restroom of Wonderland Gentlemen's Club in the 5600 block of Hillcroft Avenue when a suspect shot him four times. The suspect then fled the scene, firing more shots in the parking lot. That suspect got away. Once the shots rang out, others inside the club apparently ran out, and in the confusion a description of the suspect was not possible. The shooting victim was taken to Ben Taub Hospital in what was considered serious but stable condition. Police are currently investigating the possibility of surveillance footage at the scene. There were apparently no witnesses in that restroom.

The club's normal operating hours, according to its Instagram page, are 6 p.m. to 6 a.m. and it's BYOB until 2 a.m. Thursdays are known as "Million Dollar Thursdays" according to the page. A man who described himself as a manager of the club, Edgar Lomas, identified the victim as Denzel Redman. He said that he heard the man was shot only three times. He raps under the name Bugatti, Lomas said.

On the rapper's Instagram page friends were offering up words of support in the wake of the shooting.

Note. Address is for Babbe O's strip club. Name change submitted.
