ShootingInfo
Big earl hamilton was already considered somewhat legendary before the very thing that brought him fame brought him down with a single bullet to the head. In 1994, “big earl’s goldmine” — a strip club business on the outskirts of des moines in polk county, iowa that hamilton owned and operated — became the county’s first topless and bottomless “juice bar” — a club which serves no alcohol and therefore is beyond the regulation of state liquor authorities.Agency
