Tragedy struck at Club Lux in Uniontown early Saturday morning when a man lost his life in a gunfire incident. The Uniontown City Police Department reported that the shooting occurred just before 5 a.m. on Morgantown Street, turning a night of revelry into a scene of a fatal encounter. According to WPXI, the victim was shot multiple times in what was described as "vital areas of his body."
Authorities identified the deceased as 24-year-old Timothy Brooks, a resident of Uniontown. Lt. Tom Kolencik stated that no arrests have been made thus far, and as of yet, no suspects have been identified. The Fayette County Coroner ruled the death a homicide following an examination that revealed multiple gunshot wounds.
According to WTAE, Lt. Kolencik added that the incident ensued after an argument inside the bottle club boiled over into the street. At the time of the shooting, the club was crowded, possibly leaving many witnesses to the crime.
