Co-owner of DeKalb strip club shot, killed
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Police believe robbery was the motive behind the fatal shooting Tuesday afternoon of the co-owner of a DeKalb strip club.
Terry Stephenson, 49, was shot repeatedly outside the entrance of Pin Up’s, located just east of Decatur on E. Ponce De Leon Avenue.
A friend of the victim, nightclub owner Doug Cocchi, said Stephenson, a former firefighter, was en route to the bank to deposit the club’s holiday weekend profits.
“They must have ambushed him,” said Cocchi, who co-owned a club with Stephenson’s late father.

Becky Chow, owner of the First Oriental Market, said she heard two sets of gunshots. She said it sounded like someone was “banging on the glass.” A customer at the store spotted a car leaving the strip club after the shooting, Chow told the AJC.
