Detectives responded to the shooting scene as well as the hospital and started their investigation.

Police said many patrons were at the Top Quality Vibez club when the man was shot and police didn’t receive a single 911 call or other notification and the club owner hasn’t responded to detectives who have made several attempts to contact them. 

The victim is still being treated and police are trying to figure out who shot him.

Witnesses are asked to call Detective Ryan Ahern at 203-891-2138, extension 8214.
