Despite the incident, Jared Stevenson says he still feels safe downtown.
“We got a good police presence. So, it hasn’t impacted us today. We got a good crowd,” said Stevenson.
Stephenson owns Harbell’s Grill and Sports Bar, which is on the same corner as the parking garage police were dispatched to early this morning.
“You know, it can happen anywhere here in town,” Stevenson said.
Police say they found two men in a car who were shot near Campbell Avenue and McDaniel Street. Another man was located at Olive and Campbell who had also been shot. All three were taken to the hospital.
Police identified the men, including 18-year-old Klayton Hagan, who died this morning from his injuries. Police have not released the condition of the other two men involved.
