Austin Police said today Maurice Michael McKnight, 42, was arrested Tuesday in Bexar County in connection with a homicide at LaBare strip club earlier this month.
McKnight was booked and released Tuesday by the Bexar County Sheriff’s Office, an Austin police official said. Last week, police said he faced a $15,000 bail.
McKnight was charged last week with manslaughter, accused of hitting a man at the Austin night club on June 12, police said. The patron, 37-year-old Kelvin Monroe, died June 18 from brain hemorrhaging.
Austin police investigators said Monroe got into an argument with McKnight inside LaBare, a male strip club, located in the 6400 block of North Interstate 35. Soon after, officials said, McKnight, a dancer at the night club, slapped Monroe in the face.
