Press Release Summary = Two men were shot, critically injuring one and killing
another, in Lawrence, KS early Sunday morning. The two men were apparently leaving a
hip-hop show done at The Granada Theater. Lack of security thought to be main factor
in aiding chaos. All artists on tour remained uninjured.

Press Release Body = Lawrence, KS, February 6, 2006 – Two men were shot outside The
Granada Theater in Lawrence, KS, early Sunday morning (2/5/06). An unidentified
22-year-old man was critically injured and flown to a Kansas City hospital while the
other, Robert Earl Williams, 46, died on the way to the hospital. The shooting
occurred at approximately 2:15 early Sunday morning as the two men were exiting the
theater. A suspect had not been caught at the time of this release.

The Granada Theater (1020 Massachusetts) was home to a hip-hop show the evening of
the incident. While there has been speculation that the shooting was in response to
the artists’ performance/musical content that night, no conclusive evidence has been
tied to the show that went on earlier that evening. At this time there is no reason
to believe the shooter was retaliating or aiming at one of the performers on the
bill. Neither victim was a performer. It is unclear if these men were targeted for
previous reasons of the shooters own, or if they were innocent, detached victims.
Various artists were on the bill, representing Colorado, Kansas and Missouri on
Upset Records’ “I-70 Tour.” This show was the kick-off show for the tour, which will
continue through the three states.

As told to Upset Records representatives by Granada employees, there were no major
problems during the show. One scuffle was broken up between a man and his
girlfriend. The situation was resolved and at this point has been the only problem
reported within the venue that night. At the time of the shooting no security guards
employed by The Granada Theater were on hand to be of assistance. A police officer
was to be supplied to the artists to escort them out and watch the door as artists
and guests left the show. No officer was ever supplied by The Granada Theater.
Uninvolved officers arrived to the scene from patrol cars and quickly called an
ambulance.

A press conference was held yesterday afternoon (2/6/06) where police declared no
suspect has been charged with the shooting.
