The former location of E2 nightclub is now-vacant building in the South Loop.
Friday night at 7:00, a memorial will be held here to honor the 21 people who lost their lives at the club. The victims were killed when security guards used pepper spray inside the club, causing a deadly stampede as people ran for the exit.
CBS 2 spoke with one victim's daughter who was just six years old when her mother was killed that night. The club owners were convicted of violating a judge's order to close the second floor over building code violations. Those sentences were later thrown out.
