Taste of the City Lounge in Crown Heights remain closed following a shooting last Sunday that killed three men and injured 11 people.

Investigators say it started around 3:30 a.m. last Sunday when a fight broke out inside the club. Police believe at least four shooters opened fire, leaving a total of 14 people shot. Officers recovered 42 shell casings from different guns and found another weapon nearby. News 12 previously reported that police believe the incident to be gang related.

The NYPD says 19-year-old Marvin St. Louis, 27-year-old Amadou Diallo, and 35-year-old Jamel Childs, were all shot and killed inside the lounge. Detectives say Childs and Martin St. Lewis have been identified as the shooters, and Diallo was caught in the crossfire outside the club.

Police say they're still searching for two other gunmen connected to the shooting. News 12 spoke with people in the community like Kevin Howard who says the neighborhood is still feeling the pain from the incident, and that it hits home.

"Everybody is hurt behind it," said Howard.

Police are encouraging anyone with information on the two gunmen to call them.
