He was shot at close range and even the wadding from the shotgun shell was in what was left of his abdominal area. There wasn't much that could be done to save him and he passed away on the operating table. His wife was so overcome and hysterical that she ended up in the recovery room.<br />We were told that he was a retired Army NCO possibly Military Police.<br />He was found with that horrific wound in the parking lot of the Satellite Lounge.<br />I don't know if his killer was found or anything more about the shooting.<br />Does anyone know any more about this event?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-134787803372524987.post-30878265820038029762022-08-10T16:52:38.566-07:002022-08-10T16:52:38.566-07:00I remember the club back on 1980/ all us bartendin...I remember the club back on 1980/ all us bartending in wrightstoen New Jersey/ closed up 2am went to satellite club was awesome/ I was in my 20’s/<br />Remember Chicago played there/ it was an awesome place/ so sad to hear it closed > remember the good times/<br />I was wild in my 20’s mini skirt and long black hair!<br />I grew up now am 70 years old am a blonde and HELLO I am an evangelist with the Bible!

I tried to reach out to them about ten + years ago but never got a response? So you worked the back bar? Carlos Resturant side or other side where the ice machine was ? I should remember you if you worked there anytime between March of 1971 to June of 1975. I was usually there on Wednesday night's and Saturday and Sunday. If Carlo had special bands like Comrade Bruce S or Foghat and so on I would work . I remember a few times going to Philly with Carlo and some old clubs that he used to own. He was a true business man. And a man of great wisdom in the many conversations I had with him.So many stories . So many experiences . And so many great times @ The Satellite. Man, like to have those times back sometimes. Later.<br /> .

Sadly my mother just passed away December 27th 2020 at age 76 but I found a silver plated tray that read "nellie for services" To Nells so idk if he called her nells for short but I wish I could find someone who remembers my mom Nellie Bates when she worked there. Her maiden name was Ladd but she married my father in 1966 so I dont know what years she worked there because I forgot to ask her.
