Late last month, Jack Harlow was caught a bit too close to a deadly nightclub shooting in his hometown of Lousiville, Kentucky. The incident occurred at the cityâs Ultra Lounge, which he attended prior to that weekendâs Kentucky Derby. This incident left one woman, Kasmira Nash, dead and another man with non-life-threatening injuries. More than a week after the incident, a grand jury indicted Ronnie Luciano, Harlowâs DJ, on murder and tampering with evidence charges, which the rapper turned himself in for earlier this week. While Harlow stayed quiet as the incident and investigation unfolded, he finally broke his silence and spoke about the shooting in a post to his Instagram story.

âMy heart is broken by the events that occurred over Derby weekend,â Harlow said. âMy heart breaks for Kasmira, her children, and everyone else touched by this tragic death. My heart breaks for my city, a place thatâs been through too much pain already. Iâve been in touch with Kasmiraâs family during this unimaginably painful time, and Iâm grateful to them for keeping the lines of communication open.â He added, âNothing can reverse what happened. Too many lives have been changed forever, My life will remain committed to making Louisville a better place.â
