(WBBM NEWSRADIO) – A security guard is being held without bond on a murder charge after allegedly shooting a motorist in a strip club parking lot over the weekend.
Cook County sheriff’s police responded early Saturday to Atlantis Gentleman’s Club in Ford Heights for a report of shots fired outside, officials said. They found 29-year-old Jesus Galvan of Pharr, Texas, shot in his white pickup truck, which had crashed nearby. Galvan was pronounced dead at the scene.
Detectives learned an altercation had occurred earlier, according to a news release from the sheriff’s office.
When Galvan and three others left the club and got into his truck, one of his passengers fired a gun and struck a parked vehicle belonging to Michael Long, a security guard for the business, officials said.
When a club employee approached Galvan’s vehicle, Galvan displayed a firearm. Galvan was ordered to leave, authorities said.
As he drove away from the club, however, Long allegedly fired multiple shots at the truck, fatally injuring Galvan.
The 52-year-old Long, of Chicago, was charged with first-degree murder. Prosecutors also approved a charge of reckless discharge of a firearm against Galvan’s passenger, 31-year-old Samuel Martinez of East Chicago, Indiana.
Both appeared Tuesday at a bond hearing. Long was ordered held without bail, and Martinez’s bond was set at $50,000, the sheriff's office said.
No further information was available.
