A Victims’ Family is Suing an Atlanta Gentlemen’s Club After Man is Shot Dead

More than two months after a man was shot and killed outside of an Atlanta gentlemen’s club, attorneys for his family have filed a lawsuit against the lounge.

Dishawn Marquise Lee Herndon was killed on Jan. 26 after a fight inside the Blue Flame Lounge spilled into the nearby parking lot by Harwell Road, according to Atlanta Police Department. Officers said they found the 21-year-old lifeless with a gunshot wound. 

Herndon’s father, Robin Herndon, is now suing the lounge on the premise that it did not have adequate security, adding the club’s negligence led to his son’s death. Reynolds Law Group is representing Herndon and filed the lawsuit on March 30.
