PROVIDENCE, R.I. -- City police have announced that a man was found mortally wounded on Aldrich Street early Friday. Police withheld the victim's name pending notification of next of kin. They gave his age as 26, and said he lived at 18 Burnside St. Officers were called to Broad and Aldrich Streets around 1:15 a.m. when someone reported a shooting. The victim was found with gunshot wounds to the torso, investigators said. He was pronounced dead in Rhode Island Hospital. Investigators said the victim had had an argument with a suspect inside Club Platinum, 1206 Broad St. They said they were questioning witnesses. Club Platinum was warned by the city's Board of Licenses after several acts of violence earlier this year. The board fined the club $500 after one or two stabbings in May and an incident June 7 in which a man fought with the police. This was the 17th homicide in Providence so far this year.

Where is Dean Esserman and his band of back-slaping men and women? Out of state receiving another award for the growing violent crime rate in Providence?

Warned by the Board of Licenses??? They are a joke. Lot of good that warning did. Heres a word the Board of license probably never heard "REVOKE".
