HUBER HEIGHTS -- Two people are now dead after a shooting at Heat Nightclub in Huber Heights, and the community is saying enough is enough.

"There needs to be something done up here with this Heat Nightclub because someone is gonna end up being killed or shot or who knows what," said a neighbor who wants to remain anonymous.

That neighbor says he warned police just last week that more violence would be coming. Police have been called to the club more than 200 times in the two years it's been open.

A memorial now stands outside the club's doors, where 25-year-old Charles Bell and 20-year-old Keenan Hall were shot.

"It's a shame that people are losing their lives over a place like this, this is ridiculous," said the neighbor.

Bell died at the scene early Saturday morning, Hall died at the hospital a day later.

"He always kept a smile on his face," said Hall's sister. "He never bothered nobody, he kicked it with his friends, went out and played basketball."

Hall's sister, overcome with emotion, and was too upset to show her face.

"Who would ever thought that it would be my brother, of all people. He watched me grow up, and it hurts," she said.

It's because of the violence at Heat Nightclub that the community is fighting back.

They have an online petition and plan to go to Monday night's city council meeting to shut the bar down for good.

But in the meantime, they still feel for the families who lost their loved ones.

"There are two mothers out there who have lost their sons this weekend, that just breaks my heart," said the neighbor.

We tried contacting the owner of the bar, we have not heard back from her.
