Nine people were shot, one of them fatally, outside a nightclub on Polk Street in Amarillo, Texas, early Sunday morning.
KVII reported the shooting occurred around 2 a.m.
FOX 4 KDFW noted that police received “numerous 911 calls” regarding the shooting, which “possibly stems from an earlier altercation inside the bar.”
The alleged shooter is identified as 23-year-old Robert Kenney Knox, who allegedly left the bar earlier in the night then returned in a vehicle from which he exited and opened fire. He then got back into the vehicle and the driver sped away. A witness followed the vehicle and called police to provide them with details on the vehicle’s location.
Police located the vehicle, and arrested Knox and the driver, 21-year-old Nahryah Hilesta Ines Hayes. A third occupant of the vehicle, 22-year-old Britt Brinson Cave was arrested as well. Knox and Hayes were each charged with one count of murder and “eight counts of deadly conduct/discharge of a firearm.” Cave was charged with public intoxication.
