MIAMI, FLORIDA- A man shot and killed a hotel employee Friday, after he was denied into a nightclub, police say.

The shooting took place at the Clevelander Hotel where police found the victim, identified as 50-year-old Dion David Moore, lying in a pool of blood in the lobby, reports NBC 6, citing an arrest report from the Miami Beach Police Department.

The suspect, 29-year-old Brandon Kortez Burris, allegedly had attempted to sneak into a nightclub at the hotel.
