NORTH PARK, Calif. -- A 42-year-old man who died after being shot multiple times at a North Park topless bar was identified Sunday by authorities.

Michael Deshorn Mallory of San Diego died at a hospital shortly after being shot at Ten's Showclub at 4307 Ohio St. around 9:40 p.m. March 14, according to the San Diego County Medical Examiner's Office.

Officers rushed to the bar in response to reports of gunfire, according to the San Diego Police Department.

Bar employees told the officers that four men in their 20s started a fight inside the bar after being asked to leave for being disruptive, Lt. Kevin Rooney said, adding that two of the four pulled out guns and began firing.

Mallory was subsequently found in the business's east parking lot with multiple gunshot wounds to the groin, police said. He died at Scripps Mercy Hospital about a half-hour later, Rooney said.

The official cause of death was a gunshot wound to the femoral artery in Mallory's right leg, according to the Medical Examiner's Office.

After the shooting, police detained a man in the 3100 block of Meade Avenue and identified him as one of the four men who had been asked to leave the bar.

Rooney said the man was arrested on suspicion of assault with a deadly weapon for throwing and striking another patron with a beer glass before the shooting.
