A 22-year-old man was shot in the wrist after being ambushed when he tried to meet an employee of a Detroit strip club after hours, police said.
The shooting took place about 3:30 a.m., said Michael Woody, director of media relations for the Detroit Police Department. Woody declined to say where the shooting took place because “we don’t need a bunch of people over there” in the early hours of the investigation.
Police believe the man’s troubles started at a strip club on Michigan Avenue, when the man and an employee of the club agreed to meet up after the club closed.
When the victim arrived at the agreed-upon location, “several suspects approached, firing shots,” Woody said. The man was struck in his wrist, then robbed of jewelry and a watch.
The victim ran to a business in the area for help, and they called 911. He’s in stable condition.
Suspects fled in an unknown direction.


OTC is always a risk. Better to not. I never wear any jewelry than a decent quality watch that would have little resale value and do not dress expensively. You should never flash to much money. When I do VIP I already have the money out with little extra beyond the agreed tip/toll/fee. Wearing jewelry and flashing a wad of cash just paints a target on you! Again not much good happens at 3:30 AM in a rough place like Detroit.
