Detroit police are continuing a crackdown on businesses whose customers make trouble.
The latest establishment shut down following a DPD investigation is Red's Park-Inn Bar on Central Avenue in Southwest Detroit, where police say an early Monday morning quadruple shooting stemming from an argument killed a 23-year-old man. The bar should not have been open at 4:30 a.m., when the shooting occurred, and an 18-year-old wounded shouldn't have been allowed in, Chief James White said in a Tuesday news conference.
Police have been called to the bar 42 times in the last five years, he added.
Red's was ticketed and shut by Detroit's Detroit's Buildings, Safety Engineering and Environmental Department, he said.
The dive's closure follows the June shutdown of Mix, a club near Greektown where a stabbing occurred.
Fox 2 reports two additional recent closures:
-
An unlicensed Sunoco gas station in the 15400 block of Plymouth Road was closed after a clerk shot customer Randall Perry, 22, on July 31 during an argument with a group he was with.
-
Last month, Chalmers Community Hall banquet center in the east side Outer Drive-Hayes neighborhood was shut down after it was discovered during a murder investigation that the business didn't have a license.
