Woman shot, killed by security guard after fight breaks out at Stone Park Mansion Nightclub: Police

A tragic incident occurred this weekend at the Mansion Nightclub in Stone Park, leading to the death of a 21-year-old woman from Chicago. The altercation took place around 1:39 a.m. Saturday, escalating to a point where a security guard discharged his firearm, striking the woman. She was pronounced dead at the scene, as confirmed by the Cook County Medical Examiner's Office.

The identity of the deceased has not been made public, while Stone Park police reported that a suspect is in custody. It remains unclear if this individual is the security guard involved in the shooting. The police are continuing their investigation into the circumstances surrounding the incident.

In response to this tragedy, Mansion Live released a statement expressing their heartbreak over the event. They extended their sympathies to all affected and announced their closure that same night to allow space for community healing. The venue also indicated that refunds would be provided for tickets sold for the canceled event.

This is not the first time tragedy has struck the Mansion Nightclub; back in September 2020, a 22-year-old man from Chicago was killed in another shooting incident at the location. The recurrence of such violence raises concerns about safety at nightlife establishments.

As of now, additional information surrounding the incident and the investigation is yet to be released, leaving many unanswered questions in the community.
