We've had a lot of stories in the last few days about the fatal Lavish Lounge shooting, and I'm sure there's more to come. Time for a thread

@GreenvilleNews

2/ This is a good place to start. By @NikieMayo https://www.greenvilleonline.com/story/news/local/south-carolina/2020/07/07/south-carolina-nightclub-shooting-what-we-know-lavish-lounge-greenville-sc/5390129002/

What is known, according to Greenville County Sheriff Hobart Lewis, is that there had been trouble there before, but nothing like violence on Sunday.

3/ Clarence Sterling Johnson, aka “CJ” and “Big Sterling," was killed in the shooting. By @bmontgomeryshj https://www.greenvilleonline.com/story/news/local/south-carolina/2020/07/06/duncan-security-guard-who-died-greenville-nightclub-shooting-remembered-kind-servant/5386458002/

Security Guard Clarence Sterling Johnson was killed along with one other in a predawn shooting, Sunday, at a Greenville nightclub.

4/ Mykala Bell, a mother of two young children, was killed in the shooting. By @zoenicholson_ https://www.greenvilleonline.com/story/news/2020/07/06/greenville-sc-nightclub-shooting-victim-remembered-a-great-girl/5381764002/

Mykala Bell was one of two people killed in gunfire at Lavish Lounge nightclub on White Horse Road on July 5.

5/ One person was arrested in Georgia by Tuesday afternoon. Deputies are seeking others associated with a rapper's entourage who were there for a July 4 performance. By yours truly. https://www.greenvilleonline.com/story/news/2020/07/07/rapper-entourage-sought-greenville-shooting-lavish-club-bar-shooting/5390219002/

Greenville County Sheriff Hobart Lewis said people associated with the rapper Foogiano, who's better known as Kwame Brown, are being sought.

6/ The rapper, Foogiano, said in a statement posted to Instagram he wasn't responsible for the shooting. By @zoenicholson_ https://www.greenvilleonline.com/story/news/2020/07/06/rapper-foogiano-greenville-maintains-innocence-after-lavish-nightclub-shooting/5384403002/

The Atlanta-based rapper posted a video on Instagram saying he had nothing to do with a shooting that killed two people and injured eight.

7/ Lavish Lounge should not have been open in the first place. COVID-19 restrictions were still in effect for SC nightclubs, plus there was a separate shooting at a nearby club the night before, a state rep for the area said.

A state representative has criticized the Greenville County Sheriff's Office for failing to enforce a coronavirus order shutting down nightclubs.

8/ Dispatch audio I reviewed indicated deputies were already in the area. A person had fled a traffic stop on White Horse Road, and went right past the club. The first report of shots fired came soon after the pursuit ended Sunday around 1:45 a.m. https://www.greenvilleonline.com/story/news/2020/07/07/greenville-sc-nightclub-shooting-lavish-lounge-described-dispatch-audio-timeline/5387581002/

Audio recordings of emergency dispatches provide new details about the Lavish Lounge shooting in Greenville County.

9/ On Sunday night, more than 100 people gathered for a vigil for the shooting victims. By @zoenicholson_ https://www.greenvilleonline.com/story/news/local/south-carolina/2020/07/05/greenville-nightclub-shooting-community-mourns-senseless-violence-vigil/5381561002/

Over 100 people gathered Sunday to honor the victims of an early morning shooting at Lavish Lounge and call for an end to violence in the community.

As officers investigate the South Carolina nightclub shooting Sunday that left two dead and eight others injured, neighbors say they feel uneasy.

11/ Need-to-know info and big developments are here. By @NikieMayo https://www.greenvilleonline.com/story/news/local/south-carolina/2020/07/05/greenville-sc-nightclub-shooting-least-2-dead-8-hurt-lavish-lounge-white-horse-road/5379580002/
