A gunman killed two people and injured one at a shooting near a nightclub in Dallas early Wednesday morning.

A man was taken to the hospital after a shooting near the Deep Ellum-area nightclub Bitter End, according to KDFW.

Rickey Gossett, 37, was walking down the sidewalk in front of the nightclub when a suspect opened fire, striking Gossett as he walked near the club's patio. Authorities say the suspect was directly aiming for Gossett.

Danielle Jones, 30, was inside the club, and uninvolved in the incident; however, she was hit as a result of the shooting. Both victims later died at the hospital.
