A 29-year-old man is being sought in connection with a shooting at a strip club early Sunday that left another man with multiple gunshot wounds.
Tony Thongdeng of St. Petersburg is wanted on charges of attempted second-degree murder and felon in possession of a firearm.
About 2:14 a.m. Sunday, Tyler McNett, 25, got into an argument and then was shot outside 4 Play Gentlemen's Lounge, 10387 Gandy Blvd., in unincorporated St. Petersburg.
He was shot in the chest and left leg, and was then driven by a friend to a WaWa nearby. He was treated on scene and transported to a hospital for life-threatening injuries.
