The fight broke out after dancers dancers started arguing in the parking lot outside the nightclub.
A stripper smackdown sparked a Bronx shooting that left a 45-year-old man dead, police sources said Saturday.
Murder victim Jose Feliciano, a regular at the Key Club Cabaret on Boston Road in Eastchester, was exiting the jiggle joint at 4:15 a.m. when a fight broke out between two of the dancers in the parking lot, the sources said.
Police released images of those who they believe may have winessed the fight.
Feliciano ran over to defend one of the women in the fight when the other woman's boyfriend started arguing with him, witnesses told police.
When the argument heated up, Feliciano punched the other man, who in turn whipped out a pistol and started blasting away, hitting Feliciano in the stomach.
Even after Felicano was shot and ran for cover behind a car, the callous gunman pursued, shooting him again in the head before running off, cops said.
The fatally wounded Feliciano was rushed to Montifiore Medical Center, but doctors couldn’t save him, officials said.
Police have released surveillance images of people who witnessed the fight.
Workers at the Key Club Cabaret told police that Feliciano — an ex-con with nearly 20 prior arrests for assault, robbery, and rape — was a regular at the salacious night spot and often sat at the bar.
