THE BRONX — An ex-con opened fire at a Mount Hope lounge and wounded two people, NYPD officials said.
Travis "Trap" Lesane, 28, was hanging out at Blu Lounge at 1789 Webster Ave., about 3 a.m. on Jan. 28 when its owner told security to turn on the lights to signal clubgoers to head home, police said.
Then a "melee" broke out at the bar, during which Lesane pulled his gun and shot a 21-year-old man in the torso, police said.
Lesane, who was convicted of robbery in 2006, fled and shot a woman in the leg outside the club, police said. Her name and age weren't immediately released.
The man was treated at Albert Einstein Hospital while the woman was treated at St. Barnabas Hospital, police said.
Lesane fled and hadn't been arrested as of Tuesday morning, an NYPD spokesman said.
He's been arrested eight times on charges including weapons possession, drugs and robbery, police said.
He was convicted in 2006 for a robbery and did seven years behind bars, records show.
He was arrested again in 2014, but records for that arrest are sealed, police said.
Anyone with information should contact Crime Stoppers at (800) 577-TIPS (8477).
