Club Illusion, the downtown bar that was the site of a weekend shooting that took the life of 23-year-old Devada Wannamaker, has agreed to permanently surrender its liquor license, according to City Solicitor Edward M. Pikula.
Pikula said that lawyer Daniel D. Kelly, representing the Worthington Street bar, stated the license would be voluntarily surrendered in a telephone call with the solicitor.
“The city of Springfield has an obligation to protect the safety of our city’s residents and visitors,” Sarno said in the release. “This type of violent crime has no place in our city.”
The shooting had occurred early Sunday morning inside Club Illusion, according to police reports.
No arrests had been made by early Tuesday afternoon.

Time for some “stop the violence” candlelight vigils. Maybe spray paint a mural of the deceased on the side of the building. And the flag at half-mast at the high school he almost graduated from.
But did he repay his $200,000 in student loans?
