AURORA POLICE & KANE COUNTY CORONER RELEASE ADDITIONAL DETAILS OF SATURDAY EVENING SHOOTING
Aurora, Illinois — As the investigation continues into Saturday night’s shooting at Two Brothers Roundhouse, the Aurora Police Department and the Kane County Coroner’s Office are releasing additional information to help the community understand the circumstances behind this tragic incident.
On November 22nd, just around 9:10p.m., Aurora Police Dispatch received multiple 911 calls for shots fired at 205 N. Broadway (Two Brothers Roundhouse). When officers arrived, they located three victims suffering from gunshot wounds.
Detectives from the Aurora Police Department’s Investigations Division responded to the scene, along with Evidence Technicians, to begin a comprehensive investigation. As the investigation progressed, the Kane County Coroner’s Office was requested to the scene.
“The Kane County Coroner responded to an incident at the Two Brothers Roundhouse in Aurora which occurred on November 22, 2025. Two decedents were transported to the Kane County Coroner’s Office. The two individuals have been positively identified as Jazmine Barclay, age 24, of Aurora, and Bryan Heineman, age 43, of Naperville,” said Kane County Coroner, Dr. Monica Silva. “On behalf of my entire staff, I wish to relay our deepest condolences to the loved ones of Ms. Barclay and Mr. Heineman.”
The preliminary investigation shows that the suspect, Bryan Heineman, and Jazmine Barclay had been in a dating relationship. On Saturday evening, Barclay and a 33-year-old male were together on the upper-level balcony of the Roundhouse music room when Heineman entered the business. Evidence suggests he went there specifically to confront the pair and may have learned their location from a social media post. Moments after approaching them, Heineman opened fire, striking both victims before turning the gun on himself.
Barclay was transported to Mercy Hospital, where she was pronounced deceased due to gunshot wounds. The 33-year-old male remains in critical condition in the ICU. Heineman was pronounced deceased at the scene. No bystanders were struck by gunfire or injured.
A firearm was recovered near Heineman, along with additional evidence consistent with witness statements.
“This was a deeply traumatic event for the victims, their families, the employees and patrons who were there, and the community as a whole,” said Aurora Police Chief Matt Thomas. “People simply trying to enjoy their night out were suddenly confronted with targeted violence. Our hearts are with the victims, their families, and every member of our community who is still processing what they experienced.”
