Suspect in Last Call shooting arrested in Kentucky

Topeka man found at relatives' home

The suspect in last Sunday’s shooting in front of Last Call in downtown Lawrence was arrested Friday night in Hopkinsville, Ky.

According Capt. David Cobb, Carlos Jerome Jackson, 26, Topeka, was arrested at the home of relatives by Hopkinsville police and agents from the U.S. Marshal’s Service. He is being held in the Christian County Jail.

Jackson has been accused in a felony arrest warrant with three counts of aggravated battery in the shootings of two Last Call employees and a 15-year-old patron of the private club.

Cobb said Lawrence police are trying to determine whether Jackson will fight extradition to Lawrence.

“We’ll see what we have to do to get him here,” he said.

Cobb said Lawrence police, during their investigation of Jackson, determined he had relatives living in Kentucky. Police there watched the relatives’ home, and Friday night made the arrest.

Two Topeka women – Sherise Spears, 20, and Sonda M. Washington, 30 – are accused of helping Jackson after the shooting.
