A 26-year-old man has been charged with murder in the weekend shooting death of another man at a Birmingham nightclub.

Formal warrants were issued today against Walter Martinez for murder and unlawful possession of a controlled substance. He is charged in the Sunday slaying of 25-year-old Jose Flores.

Birmingham police responded to CC Nightclub at 1201 Bessemer Road at 9:04 a.m. Sunday on a report of a disturbance. When they arrived on the scene, they found Flores wounded by gunfire. He was taken to Princeton Baptist Medical Center where he was pronounced dead at 9:42 a.m.

Birmingham police spokesman Lt. Sean Edwards said Flores was found lying on the floor inside of the club and he appeared to be suffering from multiple gunshot wounds to the body.

Investigators said Flores was by a man - later identified as Martinez - while in the club. According to witnesses, the suspect fired several shots striking the victim multiple times. Martinez and his girlfriend fled the scene.

Edwards today said the shooting stemmed from issues over a woman.

Sunday's shooting at CC Nightclub is the third homicide there in four years, and all have happened in the same week in October.
