The strip club at the center of a shooting involving NFL player Adam "Pacman" Jones received multiple death threats last week warning employees to back off the Tennessee Titans cornerback, the club's co-owner said.

Robert Susnar, co-owner of Minxx, said the club's general manager received four threatening phone calls on Wednesday warning him to "leave Pacman alone" or face the consequences.

"They said, 'If you don't leave Pacman alone, we're going to kill you, your family and everyone in the club,' " Susnar said Saturday.

The calls were placed by an unidentified man two days after the shooting at Minxx that wounded three people, leaving one security guard paralyzed. The general manager told police about the threatening calls and has moved from his apartment because he didn't feel safe, Susnar said.

Police involved with the investigation of the Minxx shooting couldn't be reached Saturday for comment. But police told the Review-Journal last week that they believe an associate of Jones might have been the shooter.

Susnar said he is taking the threats seriously. He has changed access at Minxx, located at 4636 Wynn Road near Tropicana Avenue, and doubled the amount of security.

"Everybody's on high alert. Everyone's worried about this. We can't calm down until Pacman tells us who shot our guys," Susnar said.

The shooting took place in the early morning hours on Monday, as NBA All-Star Weekend was winding down.

Jones, 23, was in the club's VIP section with rapper Jermaine Dupri and Cornelius Haynes Jr., the rapper better known as Nelly. Police said Haynes and Jones had tossed hundreds of $1 bills onto the club's stage but did it only for effect, not for the benefit of the 40 or so strippers who went onto the stage.

Police said the incident escalated when a topless dance promoter, Chris Mitchell, took a bag full of Jones' money and fled the club.

Jones had been upset that dancers were collecting the bills tossed on stage, police said.

Bouncers removed Jones from the club as Sadia Morrison, a woman with Jones' entourage, bit and hit a security guard, police said.

Once Jones and Morrison were outside the club, a man with a cornrow hairdo fired a semiautomatic weapon at the club, hitting security guards Aaron Cudworth and Tom Urbanski and a female customer.

No arrests had been made in the shooting by late Saturday.

Susnar said he hopes police make an arrest soon. "I can't let this go on without justice. I can't let them slide on this. I owe it to Tom and Aaron," he said.

Attempts to reach Jones' lawyer on Saturday were unsuccessful.

Cudworth was shot in the arm and chest but was released Tuesday from University Medical Center.

The 43-year-old Urbanski remains in an induced coma at UMC and will be paralyzed below the waist for the rest of his life, according to his father, Don Urbanski.

"The diagnosis is that he's going to make a full recovery, but then what?" Don Urbanski said Saturday.

Speaking at the hospital, Tom Urbanski's wife, Kathy, said the 6-foot-6-inch, 420-pound security guard and real estate agent had taken the job at Minxx to support her as she attended law school at UNLV.

"It's just this terrible feeling to know that this man got mercilessly mowed down by being a good man and a wonderful husband and trying to help us fulfill our dreams as a couple," she said.

"It makes me sick."

Described as a quick wit and talented guitar player, Tom Urbanski wasn't merely an oversized bouncer, she said.

"A lot of times, when people see a guy his size, they have stereotypes. But he's such a multidimensional, multitalented person," she said.
