Monterio Alonzo Peebles-Kellogg, 19, and 20-year-old Lakenya Chanise Moton were killed after a shooter entered the club located at 2132 Lorna Ridge Lane, according to Cpt. Jim Coker of the Hoover Police Department. Both victims were Birmingham residents.
Police received a call at midnight, said Coker.
A second female, 20, was also injured and treated at UAB Hospital with non-life threatening injuries.
A suspect was taken into custody around sunrise by U.S. Marshals and there is no threat to the general public, according to Coker.
Police have not released a motive, but the suspect may have known the victims, he said.
"This was no random act," Coker said.
The fate of the nightclub would have to be discussed by the chief of police and elected officials, Coker said.
"It's been about two-and-a-half years since we've had a homicide in Hoover that wasn't traffic related," he said.
The investigation into the shooting is ongoing.
"We do investigate a crime of this nature very thoroughly," Coker said.
