Tulsa Man Pleads Guilty To Nightclub Shooting

A Tulsa man pleaded guilty on Wednesday to shooting a security guard outside a nightclub.

Jaden Perez admitted to the shooting outside the Midnight Rodeo in August. The U.S. Attorney's Office says the guard kicked Perez out of the club and the two then got into a fight outside.

Prosecutors say Perez went to his car, got a gun, then shot at the guard and the crowd nearby.

The guard survived the shooting thanks to his bulletproof vest. No one else was hurt.

“Jaden Perez has been held accountable for his blatant criminal disregard for the safety of nightclub patrons and employees when he shot a security guard outside the nightclub. I am thankful that no one was killed in the incident,” said U.S. Attorney Clint Johnson. “The U.S. Attorney’s Office and our partners at the Tulsa Police Department and ATF will continue to hold accountable those responsible for gun violence in our community.”

Perez could spend up to 10 years in federal prison when he's sentenced in April.
