The police in Santa Rosa are currently examining the circumstances surrounding the fatal shooting of a manager from a well-known San Francisco strip club, who was discovered on a California road in the early hours of Friday, October 3.

At around 6:30 a.m., the Santa Rosa Police Department (SRPD) was alerted by a 911 call regarding an unresponsive man found lying on the road close to the Sonoma County Fairgrounds. Upon arrival, officers discovered the man had died from an apparent gunshot wound.

The Sonoma County Coroner’s Office identified the deceased as Mark Calcagni, aged 60, who was a long-time resident of Santa Rosa and served as a manager at the Condor Club. Officials noted that Calcagni was located approximately 350 feet away from his residence.

The Condor Club confirmed the death of its general manager to Fox News Digital, expressing “profound sorrow and deep shock.”

“We announce with deep sorrow and shock the tragic passing of our cherished general manager, Mark Calcagni,” the statement said. “Mark was not just our manager — he was the essence of the Condor Club and a key figure in the North Beach and San Francisco nightlife scenes.”

The club expressed that Calcagni’s “commitment, guidance, and zeal have greatly influenced who we are today,” adding, “Our sense of loss extends beyond our organization to the greater North Beach and San Francisco nightlife communities that he enriched and supported.”

The SRPD’s Violent Crimes Investigations Team, alongside forensic experts, dedicated several hours at the location on Friday to gather evidence. Investigators are now urging the public to assist in unraveling the events that occurred.

Detectives are especially interested in any surveillance or dashcam video that may have captured suspicious activity in the area around the time of the shooting.

A reward of up to $5,000 is being offered by the Sonoma County Alliance Community Engagement and Safety Fund for information leading to an arrest.

Anyone with details related to the case is urged to contact the SRPD tip line at (707) 543-3590.
