It was not immediately clear who his intended target was, but police did not believe he targeted the women.
Investigators believe the shooting stemmed from a dispute inside the club, an NYPD spokesman said.
The two women, who were also rushed to Bellevue Hospital, are expected to survive.
The victim was taken to Brooklyn Hospital Center where he was pronounced deceased, officials said. They are in serious but stable condition.
The gunman left behind five shell casings at the scene and fled in a dark-colored vehicle, possibly a BMW.
