Shortly after that, police said four additional women connected to that shooting arrived at UofL Hospital for treatment.
Originally, two of the women were being treated for gunshot wounds, while the other two were being treated for injuries unrelated to gunshots.
In an update Sunday afternoon, officials said the total number of victims remains six women, but five of them were now believed to have been shot.
One victim who was initially being treated for a head injury was later determined to have a graze wound.
Later, LMPD confirmed that at least four weapons were used during the shooting with approximately 90 spent rounds on the scene.
According to a statement from the Louisville Metro Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control (ABC), Str8 Ryderz is not a licensed establishment and illegal alcoholic beverages were found and removed from the location.
Around the same time the shooting occurred, officers with Shively Police responded to a deadly crash in the 3400 block of 7th Street Road, where two women in their 20s were killed.
Police said it's unclear if the crash is connected to the shooting, but they added that there were "no obvious gunshot wounds" found on the victims. However, it'll be up to the autopsy report to make any final determinations.
Shively Police are leading the investigation into the deadly crash, while LMPD's Homicide, Non-Fatal Shooting and Traffic Units are working together to figure out if the two incidents may be related. ABC is leading an investigation into illegal alcoholic sales at the motorcycle club, and has sent the case to Metro Codes and Regulation for a "nuisance abatement review."
