Club Pulse, at 86 Crary St., was the scene of the fatal shooting early Christmas morning.
PROVIDENCE -- The police say a Providence man was killed in the shooting early Christmas morning at Club Pulse.
They released the identity of the man this morning as Kendall Marshall, 29. The police did not release his address.
The police say they have no suspect in the 1:30 a.m. shooting, which injured two other men.
Because of the shooting and previous incidents of violence at the club on Crary Street, the police are seeking an emergency meeting with the city's licensing board in an effort to close the club.
"We've had a number of problems there in the past," said Maj. Paul Fitzgerald, commander of the uniformed division.
The meeting hasn't yet been scheduled, but Fitzgerald wants the board to hear the request before the club is scheduled to reopen Friday as part of its regular schedule.
The injured men were identified as Darius Armador, 26, of Groton, Conn., and James Rue, 31, of Boston. The police declined to release their street addresses.
The police are still investigating the motive for the shooting. "We're still looking into what precipiated the violence," said Det. Capt. Hugh Clements, detectives commander.

Armador suffered a grazing wound to the neck. He was treated at Rhode Island Hospital and released, according to the police.
Rue was shot in the lower back and was in stable condition at the hospital yesterday, according to the police. The hospital couldn't provide an update when contacted today by projo.com.
The shooter was able to escape through one of the club's many exits in the confusion after the gunfire. The police say a handgun was used but would not say how many shots were fired.

They should have shut Pulse down a long time ago, after Sanctuary was closed due to shootings, they should have known someone was going to get killed at a place like that. I hope they never open the doors to that place again!!
