AFFIDAVIT: Moments before, during & after the Club Blu mass shooting
Reset
LEE COUNTY, Fla. – Five people were arrested Wednesday for the deadly Club Blu mass shooting in July 2016.
Tajze Battle, Derrick Church, Don Loggins, Demetrius O’Neal, and Kierra Russ are each facing two second-degree murder charges and a conspiracy to commit murder charge.
Detectives believe the group was part of the 1Way gang, who often feuded with the Bottom Boys gang, according to the arrest affidavit. Investigators think the five members of the group targeted the Teen Beach Party to specifically shoot members of the Bottom Boys gang.
However, two teens completely unrelated to either gang were shot and killed instead.
