The Fulton County Medical Examiner’s Office said Thursday that 21-year-old Ewell Ynoa and 22-year-old Giovan Diaz died Sunday after being shot at The Masquerade club at Underground Atlanta.

Atlanta police say someone in the crowd got angry and opened fire after the two men climbed onstage between performances. Deputy Police Chief Darryl Tolleson called it “a confrontation that went bad.”

Police on Wednesday arrested 23-year-old Jonathan Bautista on charges including two counts of murder. Tolleson said the suspect did not know either of the victims.
