Greensboro police say the shooting happened at the Royal Banquet Hall off West Gate City Boulevard.
On Monday, police say the venue was shut down due to code violations.
And while investigators charged two High Point Men in connection with the shooting, city leaders and community members alike believe more should be done.
A day after the shooting, the Greensboro Community Safety Department hosted a Greensboro Stands Together Community Walk with Greensboro police officers by their side.
Youth Engagement Director Jeremiah Jett was in attendance.
“We just want to show people that young people are serious, and that was just one mistake. One mistake doesn’t count us out of our future. We really just want to bring … people together, bring the community together and show people that we are willing to fight for a better future that we are fighting for and deserve,” Jett said.
Jett wonders if changes could lead to a youth curfew.
“I think it’s a good idea, but if you decide to put in a teen curfew, you need youth voice at that table,” Jett said.
During Monday’s city council meeting, Greensboro City Councilmen Irving Allen and Hugh Holston shared their thoughts.

“It’s not something that I currently support, but I do support the conversation around it. … I would definitely lean towards what we can find around providing resources,” Irving said.
“I know other municipalities have already implemented curfews. That doesn’t mean that we have to,” Holston said.
Winston-Salem has a youth curfew in place from 10 p.m. to 6 a.m., seven days a week until October.
Greensboro City Manager Trey Davis says he’s taking notes.
“We’ll learn some lessons from those peer cities, look at the data that we have here from our police department as well as other partners. … This will be a really careful decision and discussion, but we want to make sure at its core that we keep our youth safe, keep all of our citizens safe,” Davis said.
Davis says he’s certain that the city council will give an opportunity to the community to receive feedback on a youth curfew.
He says over the next few days, he’ll work with the city attorney’s office and community safety departments and have conversations with the city council members about the details he’s gathered.
