Neisha Robinson and her boyfriend had only been inside the packed Status Nightclub early Sunday morning for about 15 minutes when everything changed. “There were no fights or anything — no commotion,” Robinson, 28, said. “The music was still playing. People were still dancing. And then you hear the first pop.” People kept dancing, she said, “because we’re not thinking that somebody‘s inside shooting.” Only someone was inside shooting. “Once the second and third shots go off, everybody is taking off, running and hitting the ground,” Robinson said. “And then it’s like, I want to say, like five more back to back (shots) happen.” On Tuesday morning, prosecutors announced charges against a Kansas City, Kansas, man for two counts of second-degree murder. Dontae M Brooks, 27, was taken into custody Monday. In addition to the two murder counts, he’s charged with four counts of armed criminal action, one count of first-degree assault and two weapon crimes. Brooks is charged in the death of Eboni Silas, 29, and Tishauna Ballard, 24, who were inside the club at the time of the shooting. Two others were injured in the early Sunday shooting, including a man who was shot in the face and chest and is hospitalized in stable condition, authorities said.
