The son of a Harvey police officer was killed and three others wounded, including two security guards, in a shooting early Wednesday at a strip club in the south suburb, police said.
The shooting began about 2:10 a.m. inside the Boogie Nights club in the 14700 block of South Wood Street and then moved outside, Harvey Police Chief Greg Thomas said in a statement. Two of the wounded were guards.
Outside the club, a 25-year-old man was fatally shot. Thomas said the man, the son of a Harvey police officer, was dead at the scene.
The wounded were taken to Metro South and Ingalls Memorial hospitals, he said. Their conditions were not released.
Thomas said additional details would be issued later Wednesday.
The Cook County medical examiner’s office has not offered details about the fatality.
Harvey police and the South Suburban Major Crimes Task Force are investigating.
Boogie Nights is located at the former site of Arnie’s Idle Hour, another strip club that is the focus of a federal investigation into corruption allegations involving Harvey Mayor Eric Kellogg. A criminal complaint filed last week alleged Kellogg spent years shaking down the club’s owner for thousands of dollars a month and allowed prostitution to occur in the club in exchange.
Last year, four people were wounded in another strip club shooting in Harvey.
