Bilston nightclub shooting: Family pay tribute to victim Danny McCalla
THE grieving family of nightclub murder victim Danny “Dannyman” McCalla has paid moving tribute to the “loving” father.
Mr McCalla, from Dudley, was shot dead in Tropical Harmony nightclub on Saturday, at 4.30am.
A murder investigation, Operation Bluepathway, was launched and three men, aged 29, 34 and 36, have been arrested and bailed pending further inquiries.
The club in Bilston High Street has been a magnet for trouble in recent years, and was this week shut temporarily at a special Wolverhampton City Council licensing committee meeting. Police have said they will push for the club’s permanent closure when the venue’s case is heard in full on December 14.
Speaking on behalf of the whole family, Mr McCalla’s eldest son, who did not wish to be named, said: “My dad was a loving, kind and fair person.
“He was a father of three and a family man as well as an entrepreneur.
“He was a real people’s person who affected everybody’s life in a good way.
“Educated and peaceful, he loved music and he loved life.”
A West Midlands Police spokesman said no further information was being given about Mr McCalla’s line of work.
