Lange reported in a Jan. 7 release: “Officers were dispatched to a shooting call outside a club/lounge at (11750 South Wilcrest Drive) and found Ms. McGregor and two men with gunshot wounds. … One male victim was treated and released from an area hospital and the other male victim was treated at the scene.

“Detectives learned that as the victims exited the club a verbal argument began in the parking lot. The argument escalated with multiple people involved in a fist fight. During the altercation, two black male suspects pulled out guns and began firing shots in multiple directions. The suspects then fled the scene in a white Dodge Charger.”
