Arrest made in Nick's bar shooting

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind.(WLFI) - An Indianapolis man is sitting in the Tippecanoe County Jail after he allegedly fired shots into an open crowd outside a West Lafayette bar. Police are still searching for another man believed to be the person who shot 22-year-old Antwain Harrison, also outside Nick's bar.

The parking lot at Nick's Nightclub on the levee was full of people early Sunday morning, when 22-year-old Antwain Harrison of Indianapolis was shot in the neck, and when 22-year-old Clarence Stephens returned gunshots into a crowd of people. West Lafayette Police Lieutenant Troy Harris said Stephens is an acquaintance of the victim.

"He was shooting in the direction of one of our officers, that is correct. Fortunately the bullets were stopped by a vehicle, two different vehicles. Otherwise the crowd and our officer were in the line of fire of the bullet," said Harris. 

He said Stephens was arrested for criminal recklessness and possession of a deadly weapon. Earlier this week the police department released surveillance video showing three men walking past a squad car. Lieutenant Harris said one of the men turned himself into Marion County police but said he knows nothing about the shooting.

"We didn't get a lot of information about the case there. We are working with IMPD some officers there, to help us follow up on the few leads that we do have,"said Harris.

Lieutenant Harris said police still believe they are looking for a single shooter.

"A lot of prayers for the family go out, toward the victim, and they are asking for the public's help with information. Please call use here at the police department or we tip at 1-800-78-CRIME," said Harris.

Lieutenant Harris said they didn't get much help from the crowd at the crime scene.  If you have any information you are asked to call West Lafayette Police at 775-5200.

Police have not been able to confirm or deny that a red late nineties model Camaro was used as a getaway vehicle. Lieutenant Harris said they do not have any leads or any more information to corroborate that fact.
