Jonathan Aguilar Vega, the Coquette employee who was wounded, told WRAL-TV, "We were having our daily meeting before the shift began. One of our employees had brought in a cake to celebrate a bartender's birthday. She was cutting the cake, and moments later, I was shot. I still have a bullet in my hand." His description emphasizes the suddenness and shock of the event as it unfolded during what should have been a celebratory moment.
Katie Carrigan, a friend of the deceased Jonathan Mark Schaffer, reflected on his character, stating he was "just a kind and beautiful soul." This sentiment underscores the tragedy not just of the violence that occurred, but the loss of a valued member of the community.
