Sheriff Lewis says no suspects have been arrested, but investigators have some information on a suspect. Lewis said the shooting could be gang-related.

And there’s this interesting fact: night clubs are not allowed to be open under Gov. Henry McMasters’s executive order. The sheriff said they are looking to see if the club had been granted an exception.
