Gunman in deadly Aurora shooting had dated victim, police say

AURORA, Ill. - The gunman and a victim who were killed in a shooting at an Aurora restaurant over the weekend were identified by local authorities.

Police said the gunman had dated the victim who was killed and had confronted her while she was with another man at the restaurant.

What we know:

The shooting took place around 9 p.m. at Two Brothers Roundhouse in the city’s downtown. Responding officers found three people with gunshot wounds.

The two people who were killed were identified as Jazmine Barclay, 24, of Aurora, and Bryan Heineman, 43, of Naperville, by the Kane County Coroner’s Office.

Aurora police said a preliminary investigation revealed that Heineman and Barclay had been in a dating relationship.

On the night of the shooting, Barclay and a 33-year-old man were together in the upper-level balcony of the restaurant’s music room when Heineman entered the building. Police said Heineman went there to confront the pair and may have learned they were there from a social media post.

Moments after approaching them, Heineman shot them and then fatally shot himself.

Barclay was taken to Mercy Hospital, where she died. The 33-year-old man remains in critical condition in the ICU.

Heineman died at the scene.

No bystanders were hit by gunfire or injured.
