Atlanta Club Owner Shot Dead

The owner of the Déjà Vu nightclub in Atlanta was shot and killed in what a witness described as an ambush Dec. 30.

A second man was shot in the back.

Police are investigating a motive.

The name of the owner was not released at press time.

Mike McGee, who was renovating the club along with his 15-year-old son, said the owner asked him to help with a dead car battery that afternoon.

“As soon as we connected the battery cables, [two gunmen] turned the corner and started shooting,” McGee told the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. “There was nothing nobody could do.”

He said the owner died after being shot, and another was shot in the back.

McGee’s son got away by jumping a fence, breaking his leg in the process.

“Only reason I got away was because I was laying down playing dead,” McGee said.
