Michael Antuan Douglas was 19 when he was fatally shot after a dispute that began inside the former Banana Joe’s nightclub at Third and Hamilton streets in Allentown. The night, described as a college night, turned violent when a fight broke out on the dance floor between two groups of men; security removed those involved, including Douglas, and the confrontation continued in the club’s parking lot.

According to reports, shouting and posturing escalated in the lot and gunfire followed. Douglas was struck and later died at a local hospital; an 18-year-old man was also shot in the hand. When police arrived the crowd had dispersed. The Allentown Police Department classifies the death as an unsolved homicide and the case is cold; no suspects have been publicly identified or arrested. A lawsuit was reportedly settled with the nightclub over the parking lot homicide.

Does anyone have information about that night or recall movements around Banana Joe’s on September 14, 2007?
