Man is shot to death after fight at nightclub

The Baltimore Sun

Two 20-year-old men were shot - one fatally - during a dispute about 2:40 a.m. yesterday at a parking lot near the Paradox Nightclub in South Baltimore, police said.

Authorities have not identified the person who died. The other victim was taken to Johns Hopkins Bayview Medical Center and was being treated for injuries that are not life-threatening, police said.

On Sunday night, Paradox hosted an "all high school party," according to a voice recording. The doors opened at 9 p.m. and closed at 2 a.m.

Police said security officers from the nightclub contacted them about closing time because the crowd was getting rowdy and there was fighting.

Police went to help, but one group of people moved to a parking lot in the 1000 block of Russell St. near M&T; Bank Stadium. The fight continued, police said, and two people were shot.
