UPDATE: This article says a little more about what may have happened.
Witnesses told of chaos, screams and gunfire near the Kalua club at 143-08 94th Avenue in Jamaica just after 4 a.m. as the victims walked out, got into their silver Nissan Altima, drove half a block, turned a corner and struck a black unmarked police minivan bearing plainclothes officers.
The car then backed up, nearly hitting an undercover officer, and shot forward, slamming again into the police van, the police said.
Sometime after 4:00 a.m. this morning three men left the Kalua Club, a Queens strip club where they had been attending a bachelor party.
Shortly after leaving the club Sean Bell, the 23-year-old groom, was killed while his two friends, Trent Benefield, 23, and Joseph Guzman, 31 were shot multiple times. No police were injured.
The actual events of what happened are sketchy to say the least and as of now cops are not saying much of anything other than, officers were “observing a group that later got into a confrontation with back-up officers outside,” said a police official, who spoke on condition of anonymity because the investigation had not been completed.
“First it was like four shots,” said Abraham Kamara, 38, who lives a few blocks from the scene of the shooting and said he was getting ready for work at the time. “And then it was like pop-pop-pop like 12 times.”
The victims’ families say that there’s no way there were guns inside the car and that “there was no reason for the police to shoot.” The cops have yet to confirm or deny whether or not the suspects were armed.
Al Sharpton is demanding answers to the shooting. “I will stand with this family,” he said. “This stinks. Something about the story being told did not seem right.”
