Police on Tuesday were seeking leads in an early morning shooting that left a 27-year-old man dead outside a South Los Angeles nightclub.

The slaying outside the Ground Zero Night Club at 1955 W. Manchester Ave. appeared to be gang-related, said Det. Chris Barling of the Los Angeles Police Department.

The shooting occurred shortly after 5 a.m. Tuesday after the victim walked out of the club and a dispute broke out, police said.

Since January 2007, at least 149 homicides have been reported within two miles of Tuesday's slaying scene, according to a Times Homicide Report database.

Anyone with information is asked to call 77th Street Station homicide detectives at (213)  485-1383.
