Three men wanted for nightclub shooting on New Year's Day
The Gwinnett County Police Department are searching for three Asian men involved in a shooting at the Encore nightclub on New Year's Day. Detectives released images of the suspects and their car in hopes of generating leads in the case.
Witnesses told police that a verbal altercation in the parking lot involving several males turned physical around 2:45 a.m. After security separated the group, two of the males went to their vehicle and both retrieved guns. One male obtained a handgun and the other male armed himself with a rifle.
The male with the rifle shot multiple times into the air, before turning the gun towards the club causing damage to the building. After shooting several rounds, the men got into a black passenger car, possibly a Mercedes. Surveillance from the business captured three of the males involved in this incident.
