Hip Hop Woodstock

Following up on the Minxx shootings, it looks like that case is still ongoing and fingers are getting pointed at an associate of Pac Man Jones. From the Las Vegas Review Journal:

Death threats alleged at club: Minxx owner says calls followed shooting

By DAVID KIHARA

The strip club at the center of a shooting involving NFL player Adam "Pacman" Jones received multiple death threats last week warning employees to back off the Tennessee Titans cornerback, the club's co-owner said.

Robert Susnar, co-owner of Minxx, said the club's general manager received four threatening phone calls on Wednesday warning him to "leave Pacman alone" or face the consequences.

"They said, 'If you don't leave Pacman alone, we're going to kill you, your family and everyone in the club,' " Susnar said Saturday.

The calls were placed by an unidentified man two days after the shooting at Minxx that wounded three people, leaving one security guard paralyzed. The general manager told police about the threatening calls and has moved from his apartment because he didn't feel safe, Susnar said.
