KANSAS CITY —Law enforcement investigating the shooting at a Kansas City bar early Sunday have identified the victims as 41-year-old Jason McConnell; 33-year-old Clarence Henderson and 25-year-old Antoinette Brenson, according to a release from KCPD.
Honystye Chancellor told the Kansas City Star that her stepfather Jason McConnell, was killed in the shooting while working security at the door of the bar.
After she rushed to the bar, Chancellor said, people in the crowd told her that the shooting happened just as the local rapper who was performing at the club was leaving.
The rapper who performs under the name “Nutty Still Gassin” had posted a live video from the club earlier in the night before the shooting happened on his Facebook page.
Kansas City police said that when multiple officers arrived at the bar, they found five victims and began providing medical aid.
Police said two of the victims died at the scene — one was found inside the bar and the other was outside the building in Kansas City, Missouri. A third victim died at the hospital.
