Judge Denies Immunity in Hawk Shooting Case | Lawrence News

A judge has denied immunity for Daitron Daniels Strickland in a deadly January shooting outside the Hawk, sending the case to trial on charges of first-degree murder, attempted murder, and weapon possession. Prosecutors argue Strickland deliberately fired into a crowd after Caiden Clem shot into the air, killing an 18-year-old and injuring a 16-year-old. Though defense attorneys used edited video clips to claim self-defense, the judge found the full footage and Strickland’s own statements didn’t support his claim that he reasonably believed he was in danger. The ruling means Strickland will face trial, with arraignment set for October 13th, while Clem’s plea hearing is scheduled for October 15th — a tragic case now set to be decided by the legal system.
