Just after 4 a.m. on Monday morning, a Bronx woman, Walikque Faussett, 24, was killed in a shooting outside Motivo, a nightclub in Manhattan’s Flatiron district. Two other women were injured.

According to the New York Post, the shooter had earlier gotten into an argument at the club and been removed by bouncers. Police said the shooter, who they identified as Dalone Jamison, 26, returned a half-hour later in a dark BMW, firing at least eight shots—it’s not clear whether he was aiming for the women or club security.

Faussett and her friend Renee Rondot, 25, were shot were waiting for a cab on the corner of East 21st Street and Fifth Avenue, the Post reports. They had been celebrating Faussett’s birthday.

“It started out with some altercation in the club,” a witness, Ashley Valle, told the New York Daily News. “When I looked the bouncers were trying to get him out the club, scuffling with him. We were about to step out when shots rang out and everybody scattered.”

“The three ladies, they had nothing to do with what happened, with the fight,” a Motivo employee told CBS New York.

Later on Monday, a photograph of the victim, Faussett, with the alleged shooter, Jamison, was posted to an Instagram account appearing to belong to the latter.

The photograph appears to have been taken at Club Motivo, the Daily News reports.

Both of the women injured in the shooting were taken to Bellevue Hospital Center and are in stable condition. According to the New York Times, no arrests have yet been made.
