Tampa - A 26-year-old man was killed this morning after exchanging shots with another man in the parking lot of a strip club.

John William Larry, 2709 19th Ave. E., Tampa, was thrown out of Fantasy Dolls club just before the 2:50 a.m. shooting after arguing with one of the dancers, the Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office said.

He got into an argument with a man in the parking lot of the club at 4948 N. 56th St., and the argument escalated, and both Larry and the other man started shooting at each other, deputies said. Numerous shots were fired and Larry was hit and died at the scene, deputies said.

Witnesses told deputies that right after the shooting, a maroon Nissan pulled up to the body and a man got out and took Larry's gun.

No one had been arrested by this morning, sheriff's spokeswoman Debbie Carter said.

Anyone with any information should call the sheriff's office at (813) 247-8200 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-873-8400.
