As the club was closing around 1 a.m. and clubgoers began to exit, a single gunshot was fired in the vicinity of Club Ignition's stairwell entrance. Hundreds of people present began to panic running and shoving their way to the exits.
Shortly after the shot was fired, police officers located a victim - Peoria resident Marshall Payton - outside the club, who had been hit by the gunshot to his left hip. Payton told police that he had heard the gunshot, but didn't realize he was hit until after he had exited the club.
