DETROIT - A man found across the street from a strip club with a gunshot wound to the head could be a victim of a shootout, according to police.
The victim was found in a parking lot across from Hard Body's in the 1400 block of Michigan Avenue and Tarnow Street just before 2 a.m. Saturday. He was transported to the hospital in extremely critical condition.
The victim, described as a man between the ages of 20 and 25, was wearing a white T-shirt, white pants and red shoes. A pistol was found on the ground near him.
Police also said they recovered .223 rounds and spent .40-caliber shell casings at the scene. They believe the victim, the shooter and possibly more suspects engaged in a shootout.

Is there ever a night without a 2am'er in Detroit or Chicago?

.223 is a rifle (AR-15) cartridge. .40 is a pistol cartridge. Rifle v. pistol doesn't usually end well for the pistol user.

I wonder how many strip clubs there are on Michigan Avenue, including Detroit and the suburbs. You could count the clubs listed in TUSCL, but that would miss the smaller ghetto clubs below the radar. The funny thing is that many years ago Michigan Ave had many more strip clubs.
