JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- One man was killed and another was seriously injured during a shooting outside a strip club in West Jacksonville early Wednesday morning, authorities said.

It happened about 1:30 a.m. at the Silver Fox, located in the 3200 block of West Beaver Street.

According to the Jacksonville Sheriff's Office, two men were thrown out of the club following a fight inside. That's when witnesses reported hearing several gunshots ring out on the left side of the building, police said.

A man believed to be in his 20s was pronounced dead on scene, investigators said. Another man, police said, was rushed to an area hospital with serious injuries.

A stray bullet also went through a neighbor's bedroom window but the woman was not injured, neighbors said.

Neighbors told First Coast News the strip club has had issues with violence in the past. In January 2015, a man was found shot dead in the parking lot.

Tuesday nights attract a lot of customers to the club, according to neighbors.

Investigators say they're looking into whether surveillance cameras captured the shooting.

Beaver Street between Melson And Erie Avenues will be roped off with crime scene tape while police conduct the investigation.

No arrests have been made.
