LAWRENCE, Kan. (KMBC) — Police and family members have identified the 18-year-old killed in a shooting at a Lawrence bar as Aidan Knowles.
Two 18-year-olds remained jailed Sunday in connection with the early-morning shooting at The Hawk, a popular college bar near 13th and Ohio streets.
The Lawrence Police Department said officers were called to the bar around 2 a.m. Saturday after reports of gunfire. When officers arrived, they found Knowles dead from gunshot wounds. A 16-year-old was also shot and was listed in critical condition.
Investigators detained two suspects near the scene, police said.
Booking records from the Douglas County Correctional Facility show Caiden Clem, 18, was booked on suspicion of first-degree murder, aggravated assault and a probation violation.
Daitron Daniels, also 18, was booked on suspicion of first-degree murder, second-degree attempted murder and aggravated assault.
Both are being held without bond.
During a Saturday afternoon news conference, Lawrence Police Patrol Maj. Hayden Fowler said investigators believe the suspects are not from Lawrence.
“Our hearts pour out to those people affected by this incident,” Fowler said.
Residents who live near the bar said the violence was shocking. A nearby resident who identified himself as Matt said he has seen fights in the area before but had never heard gunshots.
“We kind of all just went into the basement and locked all the doors,” he said.
The shooting happened while students at the University of Kansas are on winter break. Classes resume Tuesday.
The investigation remains ongoing.
