In October 2020, an individual was shot and killed over admission prices to 2 Chainz’s Members Only lounge in northeast Atlanta. On Thursday (July 15), police revealed they believe to have the alleged suspect in custody.
According to The Atlanta Journal-Constitution, 24-year-old Malik Payne was arrested by U.S. marshals in Clifton Township, Michigan. Payne remains behind bars in Michigan on felony murder charges along with illegal possession of a firearm by a felon and is awaiting extradition to Atlanta.
On October 29, 2020, Members Only security worker Caleb Culbreath was shot in the chest during an argument over admission at around 2 a.m. ET. The 27-year-old victim was transported to Grady Memorial Hospital but succumbed to his wounds shortly after and was pronounced dead.
This isn’t the only violent altercation to take place at Members Only, which is reportedly a joint venture owned by 2 Chainz and Snoop Dogg. On April 11, a pair of security guards were shot when an assailant opened fire in a drive-by from his Dodge Challenger after being kicked out of the lounge earlier in the night.
Both unnamed victims were transported to a local hospital but were alert and survived their injuries after being treated overnight. An investigation in the case remains ongoing with the suspect at-large.
The Members Only lounge website says the venue fancies itself as “Atlanta’s exclusive VIP lounge for the city’s socialites and elite professionals.”
another place intelligent folks will avoid – I avoid steroid dude VIP joints you are looking to get shot by a random. Stay home
Why does everything always end in gunplay? I can think of quite a few other ways to address certain situations & problems without resorting to violence in general much less someone getting shot so what’s the problem? I mean “I don’t like the way that dude looked at me” & pulling out a gun & shooting that person is NOT ok or cool or something to be proud of…..dumb mufukkas
BLM!! I’m shocked it wasn’t a racist white cop who did the killing. You know, like how all the racist white cops kill more black kids in Chicago a year than there are mass shootings in the entire country during that same year?
to these brothers who want to shoot someone don’t do it don’t throw your life away like that.
Thanks rando that works on this site.
