The incident happened early Saturday, Oct. 17. Police found a 37-year-old man across the street from the club, according to a police account; he told officers he had been shot inside. His sister, who was with him, said the gunfire followed a fight.

Customer Zachery Newson said he heard a loud pop near the bar and saw people drop to the floor amid screaming and falling chairs. He said the crowd was so dense that people were pressed together, and that he should have left when he saw how full the venue was.

LinQ’s representatives said the business is cooperating with law enforcement as officials review the incident. In a statement, the company said its leadership is reviewing security operations and procedures, including staffing, on-site supervision and how incidents are handled. It said community trust and the safety of guests and employees are priorities.

The shooting comes three months after LinQ reopened with promises of added outdoor security, including parking-lot patrols intended to help direct customers to crosswalks. Since the July 3 reopening, police have received 51 calls for service at the business, including calls related to assaults and noise complaints.

Some people in the area have called for increased police patrols and metal detectors at the entrance. The reported shooting also follows a difficult period for the venue: LinQ closed in April after Yulonda Parham and Kanon Oldham were struck and killed while crossing Lafayette Street after leaving the business on Easter Sunday. Metro Codes later ordered a temporary closure, citing construction without a permit and operation above the venue’s allowed capacity.

LinQ said it remains committed to strengthening its safety operations. Authorities have not publicly confirmed further details about the reported shooting.
