Police have videotape of fatal shooting, looking for more phone video
A bouncer was killed at Club Seventy-Seven on Friday after a show by N.O.R.E.
Police say the fatal shooting of a bouncer outside Club Seventy-Seven Friday morning was captured on video.
A press release did not specify if the video evidence was from nearby surveillance cameras or bystanders.
But in addition to the video evidence obtained so far, police are appealing to anyone who shot cellphone camera video in the area that night to come forward.
Hamilton Police detectives say they suspect people at the N.O.R.E. rap show at the club that night captured "certain instances during the course of the evening" with their phones and other devices. And they want to see that video.
The investigation comes after Vincenzo Lofaro, a 46-year-old door man at the club, was shot dead around 3:15 a.m. Friday morning.
Lofaro died on scene. A woman with him was also shot and received non-life threatening injuries, but police say she wasn't the target.
Police say at least two males were involved in the shooting, and possibly other people and a vehicle.
Police have looked at video of the incident and compiled witness statements. They also looked at surveillance video from Filmworks Lofts, a residential building across the street.
The shooting happened a short distance from Hamilton's police headquarters on King William Street. There were already special duty officers at the N.O.R.E. show that night, said Acting Det. Sgt. Dave Oleniuk on Friday.
Throughout the night, officers were on the scene dealing with a couple of intoxicated patrons, he said then, but "there were no big disturbances."
They had left about 20 minutes before the shooting happened.
