ERIE — Monroe County sheriff's detectives are asking the public for help in finding a key witness in the fatal stabbing last week of a Dundee, Mich., man outside a strip club on South Telegraph Road.

The witness was outside Alcatraz Gentleman's Club about 2:30 a.m. Thursday when Michael Gorowski, 27, fought with other patrons and was stabbed.

The witness, described as in his mid to late 40s, left in a white or light-colored semi after alerting a bouncer that Mr. Gorowski was lying in the parking lot near his vehicle.

Sgt. Jeff Pauli said the witness is white, wore glasses, and had short, blond hair. Anyone with information is asked to call detectives at 734-240-7745.

Shawn Wyatt, 22, of Monroe, one of four men being held by detectives for questioning, is charged with open murder.
