SUMMIT COUNTY, Ohio (WOIO) - A 31-year-old man was found fatally shot outside an Akron strip club early Thursday morning.
Akron Police were called out to Ole Glory Daze around 2:30 a.m.
The bar is located in the 900 block of Old Main Street.
When officers arrived, they found the victim lying on the ground just inside the back door.
He was pronounced dead at the scene at 3:02 a.m.
The Summit County Medical Examiner said his name will be released after he is positively identified.
I love how the media refers to these as ‘strip clubs’ There is no stripping that takes place. Clothes have already been taken off before we’ve arrived.
From the Akron Police:
"Shooting at Bar Leaves One Dead.

When officers arrived, they found two men, ages 31 and 44, who sustained gunshot wounds. Officers immediately began administering emergency medical care.
The preliminary investigation revealed the incident began in the parking lot, where the younger male approached the older male and shot him multiple times.
The injured man ran back inside the bar before collapsing. The 31-year-old followed him inside and was seen reaching toward his pockets when the 44-yearold brandished a firearm and returned fire, fatally striking him. The 31-year-old was pronounced deceased on scene.
