Mint Lounge is a small-black-dive in Miami Gardens - about a year ago the security-guard that had been there for years was killed after asking some thugs to leave the club - if I recall the guy was in his 30s and left behind a wife and 3-kids. There's been other shootings at Mint over the years and I recall a few years ago there was a wanted poster the police had placed at the entrance of the club to be on the lookout for a fugitive (poster showed his pic), I guess perhaps he was known to visit the club.
