Judge Rejects Self-Defense Claim in Bar Shooting | Kansas City News

A judge has denied immunity for Daitron Daniels Strickland in the Lawrence bar shooting, clearing the way for his trial on first-degree murder and other charges. His defense claimed self-defense after shots were allegedly fired by Caiden Clem outside the Jayhawk Cafe — but the judge found sufficient probable cause. The prosecution countered with evidence suggesting the two men went to the bar together and even swapped shirts post-shooting. Clem, also charged with aggravated assault and weapon possession, has a plea hearing set for October 15th, while Strickland’s trial arraignment is October 13th — setting the stage for a high-stakes courtroom showdown.
