Joshua's Bar, the site of Kansas City, Missouri's first homicide of 2010, may lose its liquor license.
KSHB Channel 41 reports that Joshua's Bar (5701 Longview Road) is facing a 30-day liquor license suspension and maybe stiffer penalties. Joshua's has 45 days to gather signatures from its neighbors or else the nightclub's liquor license could be revoked.
KSHB adds that "excessive police calls" put Joshua's on probation in December.
In January, Jackson County prosecutors charged 19-year-old Jasmine
Depriest with second-degree murder and armed
criminal action and 24-year-old Keasha Ingram with first-degree
assault and armed criminal action in connection with 25-year-old Latasha Prewitt's death.
Prewitt was fatally shot in Joshua's parking lot around 1:15 a.m. on New
Year's Day.
Witnesses told police that two women had been escorted out of the club
after being involved in a fight and the disturbance continued in the
parking lot, ending with Prewitt getting shot. Security officers at the
scene
made an arrest.
Ingram is scheduled to be arraigned on Wednesday. Depriest has a pre-trial conference scheduled for February 26.
