FAIRMOUNT HEIGHTS, Md. - Investigators say three men wanted for questioning in connection with a shooting at a Fairmount Heights night spot left a picture of themselves behind at the club.

According to witnesses, the men posed for a photo inside the Ebony Inn Dance Hall just minutes before the shooting in the club's parking lot. The picture was left behind.

According to police, it all began when the men become disorderly inside the establishment. They were asked to leave about 2 a.m.

"As [the men] were leaving, they got into an argument with another driver who was coming into the parking lot at the same time they were leaving," said Prince George's County police Captain Misty Mints.

Investigators say the men pulled out guns, opened fire and then jumped in a car and fled.

A security guard was hit in the leg by a stray bullet and was taken to the hospital.

Three of the men fled the scene in a white or champagne-colored older-model Cadillac. The car is believed to have damage to the rear windshield and was last seen heading into the District.

Anyone with information about the three men or the vehicle is asked to call the Prince George's County police department, District III Detective Bureau at 301-772-4910 or 4911. Callers wishing to remain anonymous may call Crime Solvers at 1-866-411-TIPS (8477).
