Five people, including a juvenile, were arrested in connection with a fatal shooting outside of a Shively club, according to police.
The Shively Police Department announced several search warrants were executed at multiple locations on Wednesday, February 25, leading to the arrests of five suspects in connection with the shooting at Club 7 that left Rodney Parker dead and another victim injured on Monday, February 2.
According to arrest documents, Shively Police Department acquired video surveillance that showed the defendants arriving at Club 7 and executing what appeared to be a coordinated attack.
Police say as the victims left the club, the group of suspects began to open fire, hitting Parker. The group is said to have then approached the victim while he was incapacitated on the ground, and then proceeded to shoot him at close range.
