In the pre-dawn hours of July 5, 2026, 23-year-old VT Wood-Davion Olden Hornsby was killed in a burst of gunfire outside Bare Cabaret, an after-hours nightclub in northeast Austin, Texas. The shooting occurred in the crowded parking lot and was part of an altercation that left Layla Williamson, 19, fatally wounded as well. Hornsby was pronounced dead at the scene; Williamson later died at a hospital.

Investigators from the Travis County Sheriff’s Office interviewed many witnesses among an estimated 400 people who were at the club that morning and reported that the individuals involved were known to one another rather than being strangers. On July 10, 2026, capital murder arrest warrants were issued for 19-year-old James Mackeise Shearrion and 20-year-old Kevin Curtis Parrish. Booking records show Parrish was taken into custody on July 11, 2026, and was being held on a murder charge. The search for Shearrion remained active and the investigation continued.

Does anyone who was at Bare Cabaret that night or who knew VT or Layla have information that could help fill in what happened?
