Inside the establishment, officers tended to the victim until emergency medical services arrived. Beatty made his court appearance on Monday, requesting a court-appointed attorney as his bond was set at a hefty $750,000.

According to District Attorney Ben David’s office, Beatty discharged multiple rounds in the club, striking the victim in the back. He was later found nearby with a firearm in his possession, and an innocent bystander also suffered a gunshot wound to the hip.

Beatty beat murder charge in 2015

In 2015, Beatty was acquitted of a murder charge related to the death of Carlton Whitley.

Whitley was discovered shot in a parking lot on Metting Road. Beatty was cleared of the charges in 2022 after spending seven years in jail.

Authorities have stated that the recent shooting on Sunday morning appears to be an isolated event, assuring the public’s safety.
