HARVEY, Ill. (Sun-Times Media Wire) - The son of a Harvey police officer was killed and three others wounded, including two security guards, in a shooting early Wednesday at a strip club in the south suburb, police said.

The shooting began about 2:10 a.m. inside the Boogie Nights club in the 14700 block of South Wood Street and then moved outside, Harvey Police Chief Greg Thomas said in a statement. Two of the wounded were guards.

Outside the club, a 25-year-old man was fatally shot. Thomas said the man, the son of a Harvey police officer, was dead at the scene.

The Cook County medical examiner’s office identified him as Diovonni D. Keel. He lived in Harvey.
