According to police, Hackett was shot during an early-morning confrontation Sunday outside the Hell’s Lovers Motorcycle Club, at 2629 Golden Valley Road — a popular hangout for bikers. She was taken to North Memorial, along with a man whom police say had been stabbed in the abdomen.

A third victim, a male with a gunshot wound, later showed up at the hospital, police said. Both men, ages 35 and 49, are expected to survive.

It was unclear what prompted the attack. Authorities have released few details, only disclosing that the investigation remains active. Sgt. Catherine Michal, a police spokesperson, said four detectives have been assigned to the slaying, the city’s seventh of the year.

Several witnesses contacted on Wednesday said that an argument led to the shooting outside of the club. One woman said she heard a commotion outside, followed by “more gunshots than I could count.” Like others, she declined to be identified out of fear for her safety.
