Manager of historic California strip club is fatally shot

Decades after a bouncer was infamously killed by a piano during a sexual interlude, tragedy has once again struck the legendary Condor Club in San Francisco. The general manager of the historic topless bar was recently shot outside his Santa Rosa home, and his killer, for now, remains a mystery.

The Santa Rosa Police Department is investigating the homicide of Mark Calcagni, 60, who was found lying unresponsive on Brookwood Avenue near Birdsfoot Way at 6:25 a.m. Oct. 3. He was shot multiple times, and the motive behind the attack is unknown.

On Wednesday, the department was still searching for a suspect and a murder weapon, said department spokesperson Sgt. Patricia Seffens.

Anyone with information about the incident, or nearby residents with security camera video, are urged to come forward.
