An order issued by Chicago Police Supt. David Brown closed down Hush Chicago at 311 W. Chicago Ave., deeming it a “public safety threat” following the mass shooting early Sunday. The summary closure order, posted at the entrance, named both the club and its owner, Martini Bros Inc.
was shuttered by the city on Tuesday after a fight outside escalated into a shootout over the weekend, leaving a man dead and three other people wounded.
Despite surging violence downtown in recent years, only one business in the area had apparently been shut down under the summary closure ordinance, enacted in 2015. That was a club called Sound Bar at 226 W. Ontario St., where a security guard was killed and the owner was hurt in a shooting in an alley in 2019.
Sunday’s shooting happened around 2:10 a.m. when security personnel kicked out a group of people who then started fighting outside, police said. At least two people opened fire, and a security guard shot back.
