May 25, 2006 -- The burly bouncer who allegedly shot four men, one fatally, outside a Chelsea club is being eyed as a suspect in three other murders - including one of a bouncer who worked at the same nightclub, law-enforcement sources said yesterday.
Stephen Sakai, 30, was even questioned in one of the slayings - the Nov. 16 murder in Brooklyn of Irving Matos, 42, a bouncer who worked at the topless bar Sweet Cherry, the sources said.
Matos, who was found in the basement of 199 31st St. in Sunset Park, was sitting on a couch in front of a television. "He worked as a bouncer. We thought it was related to that," said Irving's brother, Victor Matos, 48. "The person who did this had to have known [Irving]. The door was open when he was killed."

Sakai is also being eyed in the Nov. 28 killing of Edwin Mojica, 41, who worked as a bouncer at Opus 22, the club where Tuesday night's rampage took place, the sources said.
Sakai was supposed to meet with his fellow bouncer the night Mojica was killed, the source said.
Mojica was found dead at 16 Manhattan Ave. in Williamsburg.
In both cases, the victims were shot in the back of the head, the source said. Sakai is also being looked at in a third, unspecified murder in Brooklyn, the sources said.
The slaying comes at a sensitive time for bar owners. Scrutiny has intensified since another Manhattan bouncer was arrested for the murder of graduate student Imette St. Guillen.
Darryl Littlejohn, an ex-con who was working as a bouncer at The Falls on Feb. 25, the night St. Guillen was killed, has been charged with her rape and murder.
