Man shot dead after a fight at a Northside bar

CINCINNATI - Cincinnati police are investigating after a man is found shot to death inside a Northside club.

Officers responded to Club 360 located in the 4000 block of Hamilton Avenue around 1 a.m.

"We made it here to Club 360 and there was one victim inside. A male black, approximately 21 years of age and he succumbed to his injuries," said Sgt. Ken Woellert of Cincinnati Police.

Investigators said the victim has been identified as 21-year-old Christopher Gentry.

Police said the shooting followed a fight between two groups of people. Crime scene investigators collected multiple shell casings in front of the club and across the street at a parking lot. Officers said it's fortunate no one else was injured.

"None of the hospitals called or anything so we haven't had any other victims show up anywhere else but anytime you have a bar full of people and stuff like this happens you usually and have a lot more victims than we have," said Woellert.

Bradly Pugh owns a nighclub a few doors down from Club 360 on Hamilton Avenue.

He said the homicide is just one of many ongoing problems with the bar. He's now seeking to have it closed.

"I am going to start a petition to have it shut down. I'm going to go around to every business and if I have to go to the city manager I will do what I can to have it shut down," said Bradly Pugh, Club Bronz Owner.

Police are asking anyone with information to call Crime Stoppers at 513-352-3040.
