CHICAGO (CBS) -- A security guard has been charged with murder in the shooting death of a man outside the Atlantis Gentleman's Club in south suburban Ford Heights.

Cook County Sheriff's Police said 52-year-old Michael Long has been charged with first-degree murder in the death of 29-year-old Jesus Alain Galvan, of Texas.

Around 5:30 a.m. on Saturday, Sheriff's police were called to the club, in the 1800 block of East Lincoln Highway, for a report of shots fired. Police found Galvan shot inside his pickup truck, which had crashed nearby. He was pronounced dead at the scene.

Detectives determined Galvan and three others had left the club and got into his truck, when one of the passengers fired a gun multiple times, hitting Long's parked vehicle.

When a club employee approached Galvan's vehicle, Galvan brandished a gun, and was told to leave, according to the sheriff's office.

As Galvan drove away, Long fired several shots at the truck, hitting Galvan.

Long was charged Monday with first-degree murder. A passenger in Galvan's vehicle, 31-year-old Samuel Martinez, was charged with reckless discharge of a firearm.

Long has been ordered held without bail. Martinez' bond was set at $50,000.
