LAS VEGAS (KLAS) — A tragic shooting outside a Las Vegas hookah lounge has left one man dead and two brothers facing murder charges. Anjele McCullough, 24, and his brother, Terrance McCullough, 24, have been charged with open murder after allegedly opening fire on a crowd outside the Secret Lounge near Jones Boulevard and Twain Avenue on February 9.
According to investigators, an argument broke out inside the lounge, leading security to escort multiple individuals outside. The altercation escalated in the parking lot, where one of the brothers allegedly drew a firearm and fired into the crowd, hitting two people. Among the victims was 46-year-old Kaleo Kekahuna, who succumbed to his injuries. Kekahuna was a frequent visitor to the lounge and worked as a security guard at other venues.
Surveillance footage revealed that lounge security had patted down one of the brothers but failed to check his front waistband, where the weapon was concealed. Moments later, outside the venue, the suspect pulled out a gun and fired multiple shots into the crowd and toward the establishment.
Authorities swiftly identified Anjele McCullough as the shooter and arrested him at an apartment in East Las Vegas. Further video evidence reportedly showed both brothers firing into the crowd before fleeing the scene. Police later apprehended Terrance McCullough while he was driving a car with suspended license plates.
Both brothers remain in custody without bail as the investigation continues. This shocking act of violence has left the community in mourning and raised concerns about security measures at nightlife establishments.
