Victims Named, Two Teens Jailed After Deadly Shooting Outside Lawrence’s Hawk Bar

Police say probable cause supports murder counts, with formal charges pending.

Overview

  • Aidan Knowles, 18, was killed and Brady Clark, 16, remains in critical condition, according to police and family statements.
  • Investigators detained two 18-year-olds a few blocks from the scene and booked Caiden Clem and Daitron Lamont Daniels into the Douglas County jail without bond.
  • Lawrence police report probable cause for first-degree murder, attempted first-degree murder and aggravated assault for one suspect, and felony murder and aggravated assault for the other.
  • Officers were called just before 2 a.m. to The Hawk at 13th and Ohio, and witnesses said the gunmen fled as K-9s and drones helped locate suspects nearby.
  • Authorities say the suspects are not from Lawrence as the KU community offers support to the victims’ families and a fundraiser backs Clark’s recovery.
