What we know about the West 7th club where one person was killed Sunday
One man was killed and five other people were wounded in an apparently gang-related shooting inside a bar on Bledsoe Street in Fort Worth’s West 7th entertainment district over the weekend.
Patrique Allen, 31, was shot to death about 1:40 a.m. Sunday at Social LIVV, 3005 Bledsoe St., according to the Tarrant County Medical Examiner’s Office. Allen was shot in his upper torso, Fort Worth police said.
Another man and four women, who were also shot, were taken from the nightclub to hospitals by ambulance or in their own vehicles. All five surviving victims were stable as of Sunday afternoon, police said, and their injuries are not believed to be life-threatening.
In their preliminary investigation, homicide detectives determined that multiple unidentified suspects fired handguns inside the bar in what appears to be an unprovoked shooting, police said.
As the police continue investigating, here’s what we know about Social LIVV.
Has anyone from Social LIVV said anything about the shooting?
On Monday, the Star-Telegram contacted the phone number associated with Social LIVV’s occupancy permit.
A man, who declined to give his name but identified himself as the club’s owner, answered the phone call. He said he was in shock and is still trying to determine what exactly happened.
When asked about what he is doing to prevent this kind of thing from happening again, he said it would never happen again and blamed the event promoter.
After the shooting, the Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission suspended Social LIVV’s license to sell alcohol for seven days, police said.
What event happened Saturday night at Social LIVV?
The club appeared to host a couple different events Saturday night.
One event was for UFC 320, which was listed from 4 p.m. to 2 a.m. Another event with multiple hosts was set for 10 p.m. to 2 a.m.
Where is Social LIVV located?
Social LIVV is located in the West 7th entertainment district at 3005 Bledsoe St.
Several businesses are located next door to the club, including Ampersand Coffee (3009 Bledsoe St.) and Maestro Tacos (3011 Bledsoe St). The former home of Zenna Thai and Japanese Restaurant (3001 Bledsoe St.) is also located next to the club.
The club is also just minutes from the Home 2 Suites by Hilton hotel and Bell Lancaster Apartments.
Across the street from the club is a fenced-off lot that Goldenrod Companies is developing into One University, a major mixed-use development. The project is slated to have a 10-story residential tower with a 176-room Autograph Collection hotel and 259 apartments at 1001 University Drive.
Before Social LIVV, the building at 3005 Bledsoe St. was home to a bar called Your Mom’s House.
When did Social LIVV open?
Social LIVV opened sometime this spring.
A certificate of occupancy was issued to the club on March 19. A couple weeks later in early April, a social media video from the Fort Worth Love List shows the club open for business.
What kind of business is Social LIVV?
Social LIVV operates as a bar and restaurant.
Food wise, the business serves chicken wings and tenders as entrees. Calamari, fried pickles, mac and cheese bites, mozzarella sticks and “home made nachos” make up the appetizer list.
In addition to DJs, the club regularly hosts live music from local rappers, according to the club’s social media posts. The club also recently hosted watch parties for the Canelo Alvarez and Terence Crawford fight in mid-September.
The club was previously due to host a watch party for Sunday’s NFL games. However, that did not occur.
