Security Guard Kills Man Outside Palm Beach Strip Club

The shooting is the third violent episode at the Goldfinger Gentlemen's Club in a year

At the Goldfinger Gentlemen's Club, security shoots to kill.

It is a lesson too late for 27-year-old Reicko R. Jones, a Riviera Beach resident who was slain after he pulled a gun on a group with whom he had brawled inside the club.

The Palm Beach County Sherrif's Office is still investigating the shooting, which happened immediately after staff inside the club removed the two warring parties to the parking lot around 4 a.m.

According to police, Jones was among them, and grabbed a firearm from inside a vehicle and fired it at the other group.

An armed security officer employed by the club warned Jones several times to drop the gun before firing a single shot that killed him. No charges have been filed.

The shooting is the third violent episode at the club in the last year. In May, a man was shot in the stomach inside the club's bathroom by an assailant still at large, and last August a woman stabbed her husband just outside in an argument over money.
