Lakeland Police spokeswoman Stephanie Kerr said a 23-year-old female suspect is in custody in the 1:51 a.m. shooting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The 3,500-square-foot lounge is in the Highlands Plaza shopping center, anchored by Winn-Dixie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There was a party<\/a> Friday night hosted by former FSU standout and NBA player Dwayne Bacon<\/a>, with special guest Nique and discounted Rey Supremo tequila shots. Videos posted to Facebook by the venue \u2014 that apparently were later removed \u2014 showed it was a heavily attended event with guests wearing all-white.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The shooting happened as the party was ending. The lounge owner, Jian Zhang, said city ordinances require businesses that serve alcohol to close by 2 a.m., so the staff turned on the lights at 1:40 a.m. and started to encourage people to leave. However, around that time, a group tried to enter. Apparently, a fight broke out when they were denied admission.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Police described the victims as a 25-year-old man and a 48-year-old woman, but they are not releasing their names, citing Marsy\u2019s Law.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Investigators are asking anyone who may have information to contact Detective Neal Robertson at neal.roberston@lakelandgov.net<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
