    Sad news. For some odd reason - Elizabeth strip clubs have experienced a few shootings in recent years. The clubs aren’t far from Newark - and some are marginally better than Newark clubs - but that’s not saying much.

    I am not surprised. I doubt it has anything to do with the club. I am in that area often and never worry. Almost 100 % of the crime occurs between people known to one another.

    Good point K. It’s not the area that’s bad. But there’s very little good that comes from being in a strip club parking lot at 2 am.

    Sad - the victim was only 20 ys/o - I wonder if he was even in the club being under 21
