Henry Demond Dorsey is charged with murder in the shooting, which happened about 4:40 a.m. Dec. 9 at Club Le Cave at 4714 W. FM 1960, according to the Harris County Sheriff's Office.
Dorsey is being in the Harris County jail in lieu of $50,000 bail.
Deputies said a fight broke out in the club between two groups of men. Bouncers threw five of them out of the club.
One of the ejected patrons, later identified as Dorsey, opened fire on the bouncers who were standing near the door.
Deputies said 21-year-old Timothy Powell died in the gunfire. Three other men were wounded and were rushed to nearby hospitals. Their conditions were not released.
Dorsey left after the shooting, which was captured on surveillance tape.
However, a witness later identified Dorsey as the gunman, according to court documents in the case. The documents state investigators saw a man fitting Dorsey's description on the surveillance video pull out a gun and open fire.
The club, which operates from about 2 a.m. to 7 a.m, has been the scene of at last one other shooting in the past, officials said.
In July 2011, two people were killed and another injured in a shooting at the club after patrons who had been kicked out returned with an AK-47.
"Apparently this club has a long history of shootings," said Sgt. Ben Beall of the Harris County Sheriff's Office Homicide Unit said at the time of the December shooting. County officials have been working to close down the club. Beall said it's been difficult because they cannot target a liquor license since the business doesn't serve alcohol.
