The incident came six days after someone walked up to the club and opened fire at two men outside, one of whom was shot in the arm.

The attacks came about six months after police arrested Mohammed Cortes Torres, 25, in the fatal 2022 stabbing of Naseb Fazil outside the Gallery nightclub. Fazil’s family said he died after intervening in an altercation outside the venue.
