The shooting took place shortly before midnight on Sunday, when a gunman opened fire on a line of people waiting to enter.

According to Fox4KC, the gunman was trying to get into the nightclub when a fight broke out and the suspect then started shooting. It is not known if there is any connection between the the suspect and the dead woman.
A video posted on social media appeared to show armed security guards open fire on the suspect as he fled the scene, but that has yet to be confirmed by police.
