Jack Harlow's DJ, Ronnie Luciano, has been indicted on murder and tampering charges as a result of a nightclub shooting that left a 37-year-old woman dead.
Kasmira Nash was fatally shot while working as a bartender at Vibes Restaurant and Ultra Lounge in Louisville, Kentucky, where Jack Harlow was partying with his DJ. In footage of the incident, an altercation appears to take place between a woman and at least one man. The two leaned into each other before falling over in a scuffle, which led to a single gunshot being fired.
Nash's family took issue with the club's security for letting DJ Ronnie Luciano, real name Ronnie Tyshon O'Bannon, into the club after a previous altercation.
"They knew there had been an altercation prior to this with this same DJ, so he was not supposed to be allowed back in the club," said Nash's mother, Kathy Davis. "I felt like he should have been removed or they should have taken my daughter and told her to go home."
After the shooting, responding officers found Nash dead at the scene. Another man was also shot but was taken to University Hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.
The deceased victim's mother added that she does not blame Jack Harlow for the incident before reiterating her point about the club's security.
"I do not accuse [Jack Harlow] or feel like it was entirely on him, because he's an entertainer," Davis said. "He was there to do a job, but I feel like the security and the owner of the club should have been more diligent in protecting and making sure it was secure. They knew there had been an altercation."
DJ Ronnie Luciano has been charged with murder and tampering with physical evidence. There's currently a warrant out for his arrest with bail set at $500,000. He's expected to be arraigned on May 17.
