Around 2:30 am on July 1, 2017, a shootout occurred at the Power Ultra Lounge nightclub in downtown Little Rock, Arkansas, United States. Twenty-eight people were injured and one hospitalized. No suspects have been identified.
Events
According to the Little Rock Police Department, 25 people were shot and three were hurt in other ways after a dispute that started in the club. The shootout lasted eleven seconds and started about thirty seconds into a break from a concert by Finese 2Tymes, a rapper from Memphis, Tennessee.[1][2]
Investigation
Finese 2Tymes, 25 (real name Ricky Hampton), and another man were arrested by USMS, FBI and ATF agents in Birmingham, Alabama, before a concert and held for extradition to Arkansas, where they have outstanding warrants. Two handguns and an AK-47 were seized from the car he was in. No suspects in the shooting have been arrested.[3]
Aftermath
The Mayor of Little Rock, Mark Stodola, said he plans to shut down Power Ultra Lounge as a result of the shooting. The venue, which is only zoned as a restaurant and not permitted to host events, also had its alcohol permit suspended by Alcoholic Beverage Control, which said it had been cited for 14 violations since 2012.[4]
On July 11, members of the Pulaski County Quorum Court rejected a proposal by Justice Judy Green to encourage the county's cities to place a 180-day moratorium on performers and concerts which incite or promote violence.[5][6] Instead, it was amended to encourage "civil discourse among residents" and "positive actions of empowerment and improvement", before passing unanimously. Opponents, including County Attorney Adam Fogleman and City Attorney Tom Carpenter, decried the original's loose definitions and potential to unconstitutionally limit free speech. Green admitted she knew it would not pass, but had wanted to draw media attention to her cause.[7]
