A mass shooting in Kansas City injured nine people just hours after the promotion of an after-hours party named "First Fridays After Hours," scheduled to begin at midnight on Troost Avenue. The shooting occurred around 4 a.m. in the 7900 block of Troost, prompting Kansas City Mayor Quinton Lucas to voice his concerns on social media. He criticized unlicensed clubs, suggesting that their existence contributes to such violence. Lucas stated, "Another mass shooting at an after hours, unlicensed club. 4am Saturday. 9 people hit," urging event promoters to consider the consequences of their actions. The party was organized by Big Mama’s Playhouse and advertised as a venue for those not ready to go home after regular club hours, with entry fees set at $5 for women and $10 for men. The flyer promoted by Nana Davis encouraged attendees to join the event. As of now, there has been no official confirmation linking the shooting to the party, and the event promoter has not responded to inquiries regarding the incident.
