The two people who died during a fatal shooting at Two Brothers Roundhouse in Aurora Saturday have been identified, according to the Aurora Police Department and Kane County Coroner’s Office.
At around 9:10 p.m. Saturday, Aurora police received multiple 911 calls for shots fired at the restaurant at 205 N. Broadway, police said. Officers arrived to find multiple people suffering from gunshot wounds, and began life-saving measures before Aurora Fire Department paramedics took two of the people shot to area hospitals.
Detectives from the Aurora Police Department’s Investigations Division responded to the scene, as did evidence technicians, to begin an investigation, a news release Monday from the Aurora Police Department and Kane County Coroner’s Office said.
The coroner’s office was requested to the scene as the investigation progressed, officials said.
The preliminary investigation indicates that the two people who died include the suspect — who has since been identified by the Kane County Coroner’s Office as Bryan Heineman, 43, of Naperville — and Jazmine Barclay, 24, of Aurora, who had been in a dating relationship, Monday’s news release said.
On Saturday, Barclay and a man, 33, were together on the upper-level balcony of the Roundhouse’s music room when Heineman entered the business, the release said. Evidence suggests he went there to confront them and may have learned about their location from social media, according to the release.
Shortly after approaching them, Heineman allegedly opened fire, striking both individuals and then turning the gun on himself, the release said.
Barclay was taken to Mercy Medical Center in Aurora and pronounced dead, while the man, 33, remains in critical condition, per the release. Heineman was pronounced dead at the scene. No bystanders were struck by gunfire or injured, police said.
A firearm was recovered near Heineman, in addition to other evidence consistent with witness statements, according to the news release.
“This was a deeply traumatic event for the victims, their families, the employees and patrons who were there and the community as a whole,” Aurora Police Chief Matt Thomas said in the release. “People simply trying to enjoy their night out were suddenly confronted with targeted violence. Our hearts are with the victims, their families, and every member of our community who is still processing what they experienced.”
The department said individuals seeking assistance can contact the Aurora Police Department Crisis Intervention Unit at 630-256-2483, but officials noted in the release that it is a non-emergency line and may not be monitored around the clock. Anyone experiencing a mental health crisis or needing immediate help should call 988 or 911, police officials said.
The investigation remains ongoing, according to the news release. The police department is asking anyone with information to call the Aurora Police Department Investigations Division at 630-256-5500.
