LAWRENCE —The suspect in Sunday's shooting that left two injured at Playerz Sports Bar has died as a result of his injuries. The suspect is identified as 30-year-old Terry Dean Scearce III of Lawrence, according to police spokesman Patrick Compton.
Just after 2 a.m. Sunday, the Lawrence Police Department responded to multiple 911 calls in reference to a shooting at Playerz Sports Bar.
Officers learned that just prior to their arrival, a shooting had occurred in the parking lot resulting in serious, but non-life-threatening injuries to both a male and female victim.
Police located the suspect vehicle shortly after and attempted to initiate a car stop. Scearce attempted to evade police, but eventually stopped in the vicinity of E. 23rd St. and O'Connell Road.
Scearce was discovered by police in his vehicle with serious, life-threatening injuries from what appeared to be a gunshot wound and was transported to an area hospital.
Both victims have been released from the hospital. The case remains under investigation, according to Compton.
