Joshua’s Bar, site of KCMO’s first homicide of 2010, may lose liquor license

Joshua’s Bar, the site of Kansas City, Missouri’s first homicide of 2010, may lose its liquor license.

KSHB Channel 41 reports that Joshua’s Bar (5701 Longview Road) is facing a 30-day liquor license suspension and maybe stiffer penalties. Joshua’s has 45 days to gather signatures from its neighbors or else the nightclub’s liquor license could be revoked.

KSHB adds that “excessive police calls” put Joshua’s on probation in December.

In January, Jackson County prosecutors charged 19-year-old Jasmine

Depriest with second-degree murder and armed

criminal action and 24-year-old Keasha Ingram with first-degree

assault and armed criminal action in connection with 25-year-old Latasha Prewitt‘s death.
