Address is the same so I'm not sure which is the correct club name.

Cops are looking for the killers who shot and killed a Bronx man during a robbery outside a strip club on Saturday night.

Jose Alvarado, 45, of Walton Avenue was gunned down near Club W at 673 Hunts Point Ave. in Hunts Point at about 11:57 p.m. on Sept. 24, police reported.

Officers from the 41st Precinct, in responding to a 911 call about the shooting, found Alvarado at the location with a bullet wound to his head.

EMS rushed the victim to Lincoln Hospital, where he was pronounced dead a short time later.

Based on a preliminary investigation, police determined that three unidentified males approached Alvarado after he parked near the strip club and exited his vehicle.

The three suspects then robbed Alvarado, and during the incident, one of the thieves opened fire on him, law enforcement sources said.

According to police, the suspects then hopped into Alvarado’s vehicle, a gray SUV, and fled the location. They were last seen traveling northbound along Hunts Point Avenue.

So far, no arrests have been made in the ongoing investigation, police said.

Anyone with information regarding the murder can call Crime Stoppers at 800-577-TIPS (for Spanish, dial 888-57-PISTA). You can also submit tips online at crimestoppers.nypdonline.org, or on Twitter @NYPDTips. All calls and messages are kept confidential.

In the past it was called Al's Mr. Wedge and Club W. Near the HP Market entrance but not right across the street.

^ Yeah I remember back in the day going to the Hunt's point Market with my uncle at about 3AM he had a restaurant, he always liked to have someone with him in the truck because there was always a bunch of drug boys and a pretty large size rowdy crowd outside that place, as all of Hunts Point Ave was an open air drug market.The area looked like a scene from the movie Fort Apache, the Bronx which I understand was filmed near there.

That's f'ed up - seems a lot of clubs in the Northeast only have street parking - it would make me think twice having to walk to the club and back from my car at night especially in cities with seemingly out of control crime - I'd feel like a sitting-duck having to walk to the club late at night
