Fight at Last Call again leads to highway shooting

Two men were arrested in Johnson County early Sunday following a shooting on Kansas Highway 10.

The suspects and the victims – all from Kansas City, Mo. – earlier had been in Lawrence, where they’d been ordered out of Last Call, 729 N.H.

The suspects are charged with shooting at another vehicle containing several people while heading east on K-10, Johnson County Sheriff’s Deputy Tom Erickson said. No one was hurt, but two bullet holes were found in the victims’ vehicle, a Cadillac Escalade, he said.

Johnson County dispatchers received a call about the shooting about 2:30 a.m. from one of five people in the Escalade, Erickson said. Sheriff’s officers, along with police from Lenexa and Olathe, stopped both vehicles between Ridgeview and Renner roads. Spent bullet shells from a handgun were found in the suspects’ vehicle, a Chevrolet Impala, Erickson said.

The suspects were identified as Sidney Gulliam, 19, and Reginald Eugene Mack II, 19. Both have been charged in Johnson County District Court with aggravated battery, aggravated assault and discharging a firearm. They are being held in the Johnson County Jail on $25,000 bond.

The incident occurred after Lawrence police responded at 2 a.m. to a report of a fight in progress at Last Call, Sgt. Paul Fellers said. Officers found two men being held by Mil-Spec security officers. The men pointed to a white Cadillac as being occupied by people who had been involved in the fight, Fellers said.

Police stopped the Cadillac and gave its occupants a criminal trespass warning issued by Mil-Spec and told them not to return to Last Call, Fellers said. Information about the incident in Lawrence has been forwarded to Johnson County authorities, he said.

Sunday’s incident was similar to one that occurred in November with tragic results. Several Last Call patrons were thrown out of the club and later got into a gun battle on Interstate 435 in Kansas City, Mo. The shooting involved 12 men and several vehicles and left one man dead. Kansas City prosecutors charged four men with 20 felonies, including second-degree murder.

Last Call lost its state drinking license late last year over allegations of illegal drug activity occurring inside the club. It has remained in operation, however, as a “bring your own booze” establishment.
