In connection to the tragic shooting of Mark Calcagni, the general manager of San Francisco’s renowned Condor Club, Santa Rosa police have apprehended two individuals. The Condor Club is a historic North Beach venue known for being the country’s first topless bar.

Authorities have identified the suspects as 43-year-old Richard Lund and 25-year-old Asia Morton, both hailing from Dublin, California. According to police, the duo had a romantic relationship and were employed at an adult entertainment establishment managed by Calcagni. Officials have not confirmed whether this was the Condor Club or another venue under his management.

Investigators suggest that Lund ambushed Calcagni upon his return home from work on October 3. Calcagni’s body was discovered around 6:30 a.m. in a bike lane on Brookwood Avenue, near Birdfoot Way in Santa Rosa.

Detectives allege that Morton played a role in orchestrating the murder. Lund was apprehended on Friday at a residential complex in Dublin, while Morton was arrested separately at San Francisco International Airport following her return from overseas travel.

Police have confirmed that Mark Calcagni, a key figure in San Francisco’s strip club scene, was fatally shot near his Santa Rosa residence on Friday, October 3.

Following the arrests, police executed a search warrant at the Dublin residence and collected evidence linked to the homicide.

“Although the case initially faced challenges due to limited evidence, VCI (Violent Crimes Investigations) detectives remained persistent, following leads through witness interviews, surveillance footage and digital evidence,” police wrote in a statement. “Their efforts ultimately led to the identification of two suspects.”

Calcagni was well known in San Francisco’s nightlife scene, the San Francisco Chronicle reported, serving as general manager of the Condor Club. In addition to managing the Condor Club, he also oversaw Vanity San Francisco, another adult entertainment venue nearby.

Wolfgang Welch, who recently took over management duties at Vanity, described Calcagni as a larger-than-life figure and a respected presence in the city’s adult entertainment industry.

“He became one of the Mount Rushmores of Broadway,” Welch told the Chronicle.

The Condor Club confirmed the death of its general manager to Fox News Digital.

“It is with profound sorrow and deep shock that we confirm the tragic death of our beloved general manager, Mark Calcagni,” the statement read. “Mark was more than our manager — he was the heartbeat of Condor Club and an integral figure in the North Beach and San Francisco nightlife community.”

The club said Calcagni’s “dedication, leadership and passion over many years shaped who we are today,” adding, “We feel the weight of loss not only within our organization but throughout the broader North Beach and San Francisco nightlife communities he helped shape and uplift.”

Police have not disclosed a motive in the killing. The investigation remains ongoing.
