A January 1, 2023 shooting at Bucks Platinum Club, an adult entertainment venue at 2830 Johnstown Road in Mifflin Township near Columbus, left 28-year-old Charles Earl Westbrook dead and four other people wounded. The shooting happened about 2:30 a.m. after an altercation at the club; one victim was critically injured and three others suffered non-life-threatening wounds.

Authorities arrested two men in the days that followed. On January 4, 2023, 24-year-old Charles Foster was charged with one count of murder and four counts of felonious assault; court records say Foster was involved in a physical fight at the club, drew a handgun and fired at multiple people, and a witness identified him as the shooter. On January 12, 2023, 29-year-old Jermaine Westbrook was charged with four counts of felonious assault after investigators reviewed cellphone and surveillance footage and determined he also fired into the crowd.

In April 2023 a lawsuit was filed against Bucks Platinum Club alleging a pattern of violent incidents and claiming the venue failed to ensure patron safety. Does anyone have information about that night or about the club’s history that could help the investigation?
