    Friday night, May 17, my nephew went to the club Glow in Chicago, a week later he is fighting for his life as a result of injuries he received at Glow and we still have no answers. The story is that he fell off the outside back stairs but his injuries are not consistent with such a fall. He has suffered a traumatic brain injury and underwent emergency brain surgery on Tuesday.

    My gut feeling and my experience and the facts I have gathered lead me to believe that foul play is involved. If anyone is familiar with the club please contact me. My nephew is a good guy, 28, a poet, a father, a son, a graduate of Kenwood, and Chicago State and SIU. Please Help

    I'm so sorry to hear this news especially after I just recently went through an incident in club. I'll say a prayer for him tonight, so let me know what his name is. Try to find out if the club has any cameras or if there were any witnesses. My thoughts and prayers will be with your nephew tonight. Take care and have faith.

    @mhd: Your nephew is certainly in my prayers!!!!! If I hear of anything, I'll pass it on.

    Has the family considered retaining legal counsel? Perhaps a lawyer can make the club or other potential responsible parties more cooperative...

    thank you all for your prayers, since this was initaly classified as an accident there was no meida attention, but we are trying to change that. We are very interested in people's experience with security, staff and management at that club, any info would be appreciated

    1st. find out who found him that way. Security, patron, etc.
    2nd. get in contact with the security mng. See if there's a video tape that was rolling that night.
    3rd. If they dont give it to you, or you dont beleive them. Get a lawyer, file a suite, get the police in on this.
    4th. Most club's in chicago are corperate owned!
    See who has share's, ownership, go over the club mng. head's just to get to the main men/women or who-ever to see if the know about what went down.
    5. Still, get a lawyer!!! I hate so say this but it seem's as if he got beat down by someone in the club or the security itself.
    I know some people that work in the club, so i can ask around.
    E-mail me.
    My prayer's goes out to you and your family.

    What kinda info are you looking for? I used to promote there. There are no camera's in the place, so don't count on video. They used to be owned by Big Time (Crobar, Exit, etc,) But is now owned by a guy by the name of Frank. I doubt it had anything to do with the actual club. What night of the week did all this happen?
