A man was rushed to the hospital with serious injuries Saturday after being shot at least once outside Centerfolds Cabaret near 19th and Peoria avenues in north Phoenix. He was later listed in stable condition, and no arrests have been made as detectives work to figure out what led up to the shooting and who is responsible.
First responders were called to the cabaret, located at 2031 West Peoria Avenue, after reports of a shooting, according to AZ Family.
