Overview
- Red notices declared the Southwest Boulevard property unsafe, and the city revoked the venue's occupancy after finding unpermitted construction and a lack of a valid Certificate of Occupancy.
- The Multidisciplinary Public Safety Task Force and Regulated Industries Division are investigating Status and Blvd Nights, with potential suspension or revocation of city licenses and an appeals process available to owners.
- Two women, Eboni Silas, 29, and Tishauna Ballard, 24, were killed inside the crowded club; a man suffered gunshot wounds to the face and chest and another woman was shot in the leg.
- Prosecutors charged Dontae Brooks with two counts of second-degree murder and related weapons and assault offenses; a judge set bond at $200,000 cash and a bond review is scheduled for Feb. 25.
- Court filings cite surveillance video and DNA from a red baseball cap left at the scene linking Brooks, who was on federal supervised release in Kansas at the time, and authorities continue to seek tips from the public.
