A man is dead and a woman was injured after a shooting outside a Plantation club Friday morning.

Plantation Police say the incident happened around 3:45 a.m. after a disturbance inside the club at the Plantation Inn Hotel and Lounge at 375 North State Road 7.

Maxon Lauriston, a 27-year-old from Delray Beach, was pronounced dead Friday afternoon after being shot in the arm and torso, police said.

A 24-year woman was shot in the leg and treated at a local hospital.

Police don't believe the woman was a target but the gunman was likely aiming for Lauriston.

The suspect, described as a black male about 5-foot-10 and 150 pounds, fled the scene.
