A 31-year-old man remains in “grave condition” after he was shot multiple times on Monday evening inside of an Aurora social club, Aurora police said.

Aurora Police Department Spokesman Dan Ferrelli said the shooting occurred around 6:40 p.m. inside the Latin American Club, 1300 block of Dearborn Avenue, on the city’s near east side.

A 48-year-old suspect is in custody, but has not been charged.

According to Ferrelli, the suspect was reportedly drinking with two friends inside the club on the evening of Aug. 1 before shots rang out.

Police said shortly after the three men arrived, the 31-year-old man turned up and appeared to be having a normal conversation with the men.

At some point, the 48-year-old suspect was seen getting up from the bar and walking toward the front door. Ferrelli said he told the 31-year-old man to come with him.

“When the victim walked toward the door, the suspect apparently produced a handgun and shot the man several time,” Ferrelli wrote in a Tuesday afternoon news release.

The suspect left the bar, got into a white pick-up truck and fled the scene westbound.

Police arrived and found the victim inside of one of the club’s entrances suffering from multiple gunshot wounds, Ferrelli said. He was transported to the hospital suffering from life-threatening injuries.

Based on descriptions provided by club employees, police were able to quickly identify the suspect, his type of vehicle, and where he lives. Police officers, who had previous contact with the suspect, were able to confirm the information, and officers responded to the man’s home in the 700 block of Iowa Avenue where he was taken into custody.

Ferrelli said a definite motive has not been established.

The Kane County State’s Attorney is assisting Aurora police in the investigation.

This is not the first time blood has been shed inside the Latin American Club.

In the early morning hours of Dec. 6, 2015, three masked men entered the club as 79-year-old Felipe Garcia and a 55-year-old man were readying it for business around 5:30 a.m.

The men demanded money from two men who were cleaning the building. Almost simultaneously, they attacked the men and beat them until they were unconscious, police said.

The robbers, at least one of whom was armed with a large, machete-type knife, made off with an undisclosed amount of cash and liquor, police said.

Both victims were taken to hospitals where Garcia, of Plano, eventually passed away from his injuries.

Garcia had been a member of the club for decades, and spent his retirement working happily at what he considered to be his second home, his daughter said.
