  Dominican Nightclub Roof Collapse Kills 98, Including Music Star, Ex-MLB Pitcher At least 98 people were killed and over 150 injured after the roof of the Jet Set nightclub in Santo Domingo collapsed during a live performance by merengue legend Rubby Perez early Tuesday. Perez and former MLB pitcher Octavio Dotel were among the victims. Over 370 rescue workers continue search efforts, though chances of finding more survivors are slim. President Luis Abinader declared three days of national mourning and confirmed the death of Monte Cristi governor, Nelsy Cruz. Witnesses reported a blackout before the collapse. The club, operating for over 50 years, is cooperating with investigations. Authorities have appealed for blood donations to support the injured.
