Deputies responded to a 911 call reporting shots fired just before 4 a.m. at Bare Cabaret said Kristen Dark, public information officer for the sheriff’s office. An altercation in the parking lot escalated, and multiple shots were fired, she said.<\/p>\n
About 400 people were inside the club and in the parking lot at the time, Dark said, making the scene chaotic when deputies arrived.<\/p>\n
A man in his 20s died at the scene, and a woman believed in her late teens died at a local hospital, Dark said.<\/p>\n
Investigators later said the parties involved knew each other and there is no ongoing threat to the public.<\/p>\n
Dark said it was too early to say whether the shooting was connected to the club itself.<\/p>\n
“I can’t say that it stems from the nightclub at all,” Dark said. “It happened in the parking lot of the nightclub, but we don’t know at this point in time what led to the altercation in the parking lot.”<\/p>\n
“A parent\u2019s worst nightmare,” Layla Williamson\u2019s father, Antwan Williamson said, describing the moment he learned his daughter Layla had been killed.<\/p>\n
“It was a shock. I thought I was dreaming. I think I’m still dreaming,” Williamson said.<\/p>\n
Now, just days after her death, he is holding on to memories of the daughter he said could light up any room.<\/p>\n
“She was a spark. She was the\u2026when she walked in the room, everybody was like, hey, Layla’s here, so that’s when the party got started,” Williamson said.<\/p>\n
What should have been a holiday weekend with friends, ended in tragedy.<\/p>\n
“She just happened to be at the wrong place at the wrong time,” Williamson said.<\/p>\n
The sheriff’s office has issued warrants for the arrest of two suspects in the case, both charged with murder of multiple persons, a capital felony. They have been identified as 19-year-old James Mackeise Shearrion and 20-year-old Kevin Curtis Parrish. Neither have been located yet. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\ud835\udc00\ud835\udc2e\ud835\udc2c\ud835\udc2d\ud835\udc22\ud835\udc27, \ud835\udc13\ud835\udc17 \ud835\udc09\ud835\udc2e\ud835\udc25\ud835\udc32 \ud835\udfd3, \ud835\udfd0\ud835\udfce\ud835\udfd0\ud835\udfd4–Two people are dead after a shooting in the parking lot of a Northeast…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":369567,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[11],"tags":[132,134,133],"class_list":["post-369566","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-austin","tag-austin","tag-austin-headlines","tag-austin-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/369566","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=369566"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/369566\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/369567"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=369566"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=369566"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=369566"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
