According to Omaha police, witnesses said a black Chevrolet Silverado sideswiped a black Audi sedan before leaving the scene. Witnesses, along with the owner of the Audi, confronted the suspect inside the Get Down Ultra Lounge. Officers said witnesses told them the Chevy driver, identified as Keys, refused to exchange information.

A news release from OPD said Keys was with a 37-year-old woman, Jamila Curtis, who had a gun on her, and Keys assaulted her before taking the gun.

OPD said Keys allegedly pistol-whipped another woman before threatening several others with the gun. Then, police said, he allegedly fired at bystanders, resulting in a 47-year-old man getting hit by gunfire.

Police said another person at the bar exchanged gunfire with Keys before he left.

In all, two women and a man were assaulted.

Keys was held on 10% of $1 million bond in the incident. He is scheduled to appear in court next on Aug. 18.

Curtis is charged with possession of a firearm by a prohibited person in the incident. She was held on 10% of $150,000 bond and is scheduled to appear in court next on Aug. 18.

Omaha police said Keys is on federal pretrial release for an unrelated offense.
