Number 7 Imette St. Guillen After celebrating her upcoming 24th birthday
with family in Florida, in February of 2006, Imette St. Guillen flew to New York City where
she went clubbing with her best friend, Claire Higgins.
At some point during their night out, on February the 25th, the two young women argued about
going home.
Higgins left but St. Guillen decided to stay out, later calling her friend to say she’d
soon be heading home as well.
She was last seen at an establishment called “The Falls”, at around 4 am.
Roughly 17 hours later, Brooklyn police received an anonymous phone call alerting them that
a woman’s body had been found in Spring Creek Park.
The victim was subsequently identified as St. Guillen and an autopsy revealed that she’d
been beaten, abused and asphyxiated.
Her unclothed body was found wrapped in a comforter, with her hands and feet bound,
her head covered in packaging tape and a sock pushed down her throat.
St. Guillen’s broken fingernails indicated that she’d tried to fend off her attacker
before she was eventually overpowered.
Darryl Littlejohn, one of the bouncers at The Falls, was initially taken into the custody
of the NYPD on a parole violation.
He’d spent 12 years in prison on robbery and drug possession charges and working nights
at the club went against the curfew stipulations of his release.
The bouncer had been asked to escort St.Guillen out of the club come closing time and was
later spotted talking to her in front of the establishment.
Littlejohn’s DNA, most likely from a nosebleed that had occurred during the struggle, was
collected from the bindings used to restrain St.Guillen.
Additionally, cellphone tower records placed him at the time and location of the murder.
As his van was featured in the news reports that followed, it was recognized by a Queens
woman, who reported the bouncer had tried to abduct her in October of 2005.
College student Shanai Woodard testified that Littlejohn had approached her dressed as a
police officer, handcuffed her and forced her in the vehicle.
Fortunately, she was able to escape.
Littlejohn was sentenced to 25 years-to-life in prison for Woodward’s attempted abduction
and to life for St. Guillen’s murder, with the sentences to run consecutively.
The Falls lost its liquor license, in June of 2006, amidst protests triggered by the
revelation that manager Daniel Dorrian had lied to investigators about seeing St. Guillen
inside the club, prior to her murder.
Number 6 Kasmira Nash In the early hours of May the 1st of 2021,
during a party at the Vibes Restaurant and Ultra Lounge, in Louisville, Kentucky, a 37-year-old
bartender was gunned down.
The suspected shooter was named as Ronnie O’Bannon, also known as Ronnie Lucciano,
a DJ for Grammy-nominated rapper Jack Harlow.
The victim, Kasmira Nash, was fatally shot following an argument with O’Bannon.
The latter was arrested and charged with murder but maintained he’d acted in self-defense
after Nash had allegedly attacked him with a champagne bottle.
Roughly ten days after the shooting, Harlow would issue a statement claiming he was “devastated”
by the incident.
The victim’s family sued Vibes owner Allen Evans III, in late December of 2021.
In January of the following year, the suit was amended to include Harlow and Generation
Now LLC, the label to which he was signed and that handled security for the rapper’s
appearances.
The suit maintained that the nightclub had failed in its safety protocols, thus allowing
O’Bannon to bring in a gun.
Further claims included that Harlow and the label should’ve known that the DJ regularly
carried a firearm while noting that the rapper and his entourage had been allowed inside
without undergoing the screenings required for other guests.
O’Bannon was subsequently released on bond and ordered to remain under home incarceration
while awaiting his trial.
He was also named as a person of interest in another fatal Louisville club shooting.
In August of 2020, Torre Foree, aged 38, was gunned down at the X-Clusive nightclub on
7th Street.
There was little progress in his murder investigation aside from the fact that he was known to have
gotten in an argument with O’Bannon shortly before he was shot.
Number 5 India Chipchase In late January of 2016, British woman India
Chipchase, aged 20, was outside a nightclub in Northampton, England.
Chipchase, later determined to have been three times over the drink-drive limit, was upset
and had repeatedly told a bouncer at the club that she only wanted to go home.
The man had led her to a taxi but she got out of the vehicle when asked to pay the fare
in advance.
CCTV footage would capture 52-year-old Edward Tenniswood approaching Chipchase as she leaned
against the club’s wall and looked into her phone.
He put his arm around her, in what was described as a “paternal way”, and a witness overheard
him promising to get the woman home safely.
The pair then got a taxi and Tenniswood took Chipchase to his terraced house, on Stanley
Road, where he reportedly lived in squalor with nearly every inch of the floors covered
in newspapers.
The authorities would later trace the signal from Chipchase’s phone to the address, where
they found her dead from strangulation, on January the 31st.
Leading up to her death, the young woman had been abused and assaulted, with over thirty
injuries covering her body.
Tenniswood was arrested at a hotel where, upon encountering the officers, he expressed
surprise they’d located him so quickly, adding "I suppose you've been to the house…you've
found what you're looking for."
During his ensuing trial, he would maintain that he and Chipchase had had consensual relations
and that he’d strangled her to death as a result of his “over-eagerness in bed”.
Tenniswood then described cuddling with the body, believing that the woman was in a deep
sleep, before leaving the house and covering her with a sheet.
Scratches were, however, found on his neck and arm while his blood was recovered from
under the victim’s fingernails, indicating that a struggle had occurred.
It took a jury less than two hours to convict him at Birmingham Crown Court, following a
two-week trial, and he was sentenced to life in prison with a minimum of 30 years served.
Number 4 Adilene Guerrero 22-year-old Adilene Guerrero was involved
in successive altercations, one of which ended in her being arrested and charged with assaulting
a police officer, outside Pasadena’s Bam Bam Club.
A processing photo of Guerrero, showing her with mud on her face from the brawls, was
later released online.
The incident occurred in March of 2018, when a fight between her and another woman, which
had begun in the club, continued in the parking lot, even after the arrival of law enforcement.
The other woman had tried to walk away, but Guerrero was still holding on to her hair.
After the police managed to release her grip, she reportedly turned her aggression towards
them.
A video captured by a witness and subsequently shared on social media, showed a violent interaction
between Guerrero and one of the officers.
The man aggressively pushed her into a vehicle from which Guerrero bounced back and pushed
him in return.
The officer then grabbed the woman by the throat and dragged her to the ground where
he continued forcing his hands into or around her face and neck as he was seemingly attempting
to restrain her.
Guerrero was arrested while the Pasadena Police Department subsequently determined the officer
had acted within his authority and didn’t suspend or place him on leave.
Number 3 Brittany Stevens In early August of 2019, at The Scene nightclub,
in Augusta, Georgia, a 24-year-old woman was viciously beaten by two assailants.
Earlier in the evening, Brittany Stevens had gotten into a verbal altercation with 21-year-old
Hollie Carter.
Some reports indicated that Carter and her friend Jordie Holt, also 21, had been following
Stevens around the club, trying to pick a fight with her, after she’d been seen talking
to Carter’s ex-boyfriend.
Once they were outside, Stevens attempted to climb over a railing in an alley adjacent
to the club, in an attempt to avoid the two women, who’d begun yelling and cursing at
her.
Carter and Holt then charged Stevens, punching and kicking her repeatedly while also threatening
to kill her.
Stevens was taken to a local hospital with severe injuries to her face, including two
large cuts, resulting in permanent scars, and a fractured left eye socket that required
the insertion of a metal plate to mend.
She subsequently suffered from nerve damage and impaired vision.
Carter and Holt, both of whom didn’t have a criminal history, were arrested on charges
of aggravated battery.
A judge granted them a bond of $50,000 on the condition that they didn’t have any
contact with the victim, consume alcohol, go to nightclubs nor use social media and
respect a curfew of 9 pm.
40-year-old Michael Gordon, who’d been at the scene of the attack, was also arrested
and indicted for lying to investigators.
He’d initially told them that a black man had run up and struck Stevens in the head
with his knee, knowing the statement wasn’t true.

Number 2 Tiffany Aaron Police in Anniston, Alabama, responded to
reports of a shooting at a nightclub in the 1800 block of South Quintard Avenue, in the
early hours of January the 16th of 2022.
When officers arrived at the scene, they found 36-year-old Tiffany Aaron in critical condition
inside the Pure Sports Bar and Grill, after she’d sustained gunshot wounds to the head.
An ambulance rushed her to the Northeast Alabama Regional Medical Center, where she was reportedly
pronounced dead on arrival.
Anniston police launched an investigation the preliminary findings of which indicated
that there’d been an exchange of gunfire between Aaron and the nightclub’s security
staff.
The woman’s sister, however, expressed doubts regarding the initial reports, describing
her as “one of the kindest people you would meet” and emphasizing that she wasn’t
a violent person.
No arrests had been made as of the latest updates on the matter, as the police were
still reviewing footage from the nightclub to determine the sequence of events that had
led to Aaron’s death.
Number 1 Lauren McLellan Two women were involved in a fatal altercation,
in August of 2016, at one of the best known night spots in the city of Vancouver, Canada.
On the 11th of the month, 28-year-old Lauren McLellan and Samantha Nadine Doolan, aged
29, were both at the Caprice Nightclub, along the Granville Strip.
The women had initially gotten into a fight about the washroom lineup before the brawl
spilled into the street.
It was there that Doolan then punched McLellan in the face, causing her to drop to the ground.
Doolan continued the assault, reportedly kicking the other woman in the head, before a bouncer
pulled her off.
She fled the Granville Strip in a taxi and was arrested shortly thereafter while McLellan
succumbed to head trauma in a hospital the following day.
Doolan pleaded guilty to manslaughter in July of 2017 and, the following year, was sentenced
to spend two years in prison and given three years’ probation.
She was also forbidden to own firearms for 10 years.
Her sentence was pronounced only days after, in an unrelated report, the Caprice Nightclub
had announced that it will be permanently closing down.
Thanks for watching!
