CCC Club closed down

The Detroit after-hours venue CCC Club, where Proof and Keith Bender were shot, has been closed for a year and fined, with its co-owner declining to comment.

The after hours venue where Proof and Keith Bender were fatally shot last month has been shut down. The CCC Club, which was, of course, operating illegally at the time of that incident, has been forced to close for a year, and has also been fined an as yet undecided figure. The club's co-owner Alfred Thompson has thus far declined to comment.

As previously reported, police now believe that Proof, aka Deshaun Holton, was the first to fire in the incident which took place at the venue on Detroit's Eight Mile Road, shooting army veteran Keith Bender in the head. Subsequent shots, thought to be fired by Bender's cousin Mario Etheridge, killed Holton at the scene. Bender died a week later in hospital.
