Investigation continues in deadly Frayser sports bar shooting as leaders weigh in on solutions

A fatal mass shooting took place at Club Infiniti in the Frayser neighborhood, leading to demands for the venue to be shut down.
The shooting followed previous violent incidents at the same bar, with recent state legislation aiming to ease declaring such businesses public nuisances.
The bipartisan bill, sponsored by Frayser representative Antonio Parkinson, allows communities to pursue closures and includes compensation for residents affected by nuisances.
Parkinson indicated the bill is anticipated to take effect by July 1, 2025, explaining that merely reporting concerns without further action is insufficient to effectively tackle the problem.
The bill's passage could protect home values and empower residents to seek safer neighborhoods, reflecting community demands following the series of shootings.
