A 24-year-old man was shot to death during an event at a Brooklyn nightclub early Sunday, police sources said, the latest in a string of violence in city nightspots.
The victim was partying at a club on Alabama Ave. near Stanley Ave. in East New York when he was shot in the chest about 4:10 a.m., police said.
Medics rushed him to Brookdale University Hospital but he could not be saved. His name was not immediately released.
