Victims Identified In Iowa Nightclub Shooting

CEDAR RAPIDS, IA — Police have identified the two victims killed in a shooting Sunday at Taboo Nightclub and Lounge in Cedar Rapids.

Michael Valentine, 25, and Nicole Owens, 35, both of Cedar Rapids, were killed in the shooting, a Cedar Rapids Police Department spokesperson said in a Monday afternoon update. Authorities are still investigating, but police did not name a suspect or motive.

Gunfire erupted at the nightclub in downtown Cedar Rapids around 1:27 a.m. Sunday, killing Valentine and Owens and injuring 10 other people. There were between 100 and 150 people in the club when the shooting occurred.

Following a preliminary investigation, police believe there were multiple shooters and that the shooting was a "targeted" and isolated incident. The shooters may have escaped in the crowd of people rapidly leaving the nightclub after gunshots were fired, police said Sunday.

Cedar Rapids Police Chief Wayne Jerman told reporters Sunday that one of the 10 injured was in "critical condition," but an update has not been provided on their status since.
