The gun violence in Maryland is out of control, while attempting to figure out what to do to bring more publicity to my husband's murder; I stumbled on another story of gun violence at the same club on March 1, 2009. My husband was murdered at the Tradewinds Nightclub in Temple Hills, Md on January 31, 2009. No suspect has been charged with his murder, meanwhile police were directly in front of the club and this fatality happened on the side of the building. If law enforcement is on the premises of these nightclubs and their presence doesn't discourage such behavior maybe these clubs should not be operating. After submitting this information I was informed a sister at my church, family member was murdered at the Sidelines bar in Largo, Md on March 1, 2009. I feel the need to mention live bands were playing at these establishments during both murders. Furthermore, please help me close the doors on these establishments forever.

I am currently compiling a report on the history of violent incidents at Tradewinds and Sidelines to present to local licensing boards. Several families reached out this week with similar experiences at these venues and I am incorporating their accounts into my formal request for an investigation.

This is ridiculous. Temple Hills isnt safe anymore because of these bars. My kids cant even walk to the store without being worried about someone getting shot.
