A 29-year-old man was found fatally shot inside a strip club on The Block, Baltimore’s red light district, early Sunday.

Police initially said Sunday that officers heard gunfire coming from the Norma Jean’s club on Custom House Avenue around 1:18 a.m., and found the injured man inside. Monday, they said security footage showed the man was shot outside of the club and ran inside.

No other details were disclosed and a call placed to a number for the club’s owner was not returned. The club reopened for business Sunday night.

Clubs on The Block, located near police headquarters and around the corner from City Hall, faced a potential 10 p.m. curfew last year after then-Police Commissioner Michael Harrison said rowdy last-call crowds were draining police resources. State lawmakers backed off such an across-the-board closing time, instead passing a bill that called for security measures to be implemented and on file with the city liquor board.

Clubs that don’t abide by the rules could be forced to shutter by 10 p.m. Liquor board officials did not respond to requests for comment Sunday morning.

According to posts on its Facebook page, Norma Jean’s had been closed for a period of time and reopened in mid-July.

The killing was one of several violent incidents overnight across the city.

• A 22-year-old man was shot and wounded around 8:20 p.m. in the 1200 block of East North Avenue.
• Officers heard gunfire around 12:50 p.m. and located a blood trail in the 1700 block of Fleet Street. They eventually found a 34-year-old man who had been shot and wounded in the area of Orleans Street and North Central Avenue.
• A ShotSpotter alert summoned officers to the 500 block of North Luzerne Street around 3:20 a.m. They found a 25-year-old man suffering from gunshot wounds in the 2500 block of Jefferson Street.
