Club 101 owner: "We were never shut down. FBI was looking for criminals in raid."

The music plays on at Club 101 in Delray Beach.

Club 101 owner Kenia Reyes said Club 101 opened its doors again on Friday, May 29, two nights after FBI agents raided the club not because of violations but in search of a few criminal suspects that were part of the clientele in the establishment that night. Reyes said the front door was never locked and the music on the turntables plays on at Club 101, 101 SE Fourth Ave., in Delray Beach. The popular club was raided by agents from the Federal Bureau of Investigation in search of the criminals on Wednesday, May 27.

"We never shut down. In fact we lost business. They came in and did their thing and it was over," Reyes said in a phone interview.

She said the incident was random and that she hoped numbers would bounce back up to normal following the news the club wasn't involved directly with the FBI raid.
