KNOXVILLE, Tenn — Knoxville Police Department officers took two men into custody after two people were wounded in a shooting at a nightclub off Alcoa Highway early Sunday morning.
According to KPD, officers responded to a shooting at El Pulpo Loco around 2:30 a.m. Sunday and found one person seriously wounded. The victim was taken to UT Medical Center in serious condition.
Officers were told a security guard at the club fired multiple shots at a car that the guard believed was involved in the shooting, KPD said.
As officers were at the scene interviewing witnesses, KPD said a second gunshot victim arrived at UT Medical Center in a personal vehicle along with several potential suspects from the shooting who were all detained and interviewed.
Officials said the second person's wounds were not considered life-threatening.
Two men who were in the car were arrested after two handguns, one of which was reported as stolen, and a large amount of marijuana were found in the car, according to a release.
KPD identified the men as Brandon Oseguera, 18, and Eric Gomez, 19, and charged them with possessing a firearm with intent to go armed, theft of a firearm and drug possession charges.
On Tuesday, Sept. 27, KPD said investigators obtained additional warrants charging Oseguera with attempted second-degree murder and employing a firearm during a dangerous felony. He was identified as the primary suspect in the shooting.
The shooting remains under investigation, according to officials.
