REDONDO CA Police are searching for at least one man in connection with the early-morning beating death of a security employee at Pats II Cocktails in South Redondo Beach, according to a news release from the police department.
Police arrived shortly before 2 a.m. after receiving multiple 911 calls about a fight between the employee and two male patrons, police said.
Upon officers’ arrival, they discovered the security guard-unconscious but breathing-lying on the sidewalk.
The man, who worked as the bar’s bouncer, died from his injuries at a local hospital, according to the news release. Police have not released his name pending next of kin notification.
“It was a beating,” police Sgt. Fabian Saucedo told Patch. “It was … a blunt-force type thing.”
Saucedo said officers are looking for “one for sure, possibly two” men involved in the fight. Witnesses described the men as Hispanics in their early 30s, and said one had a ponytail.
The two men left in a white 2003 Audi with California license plate 5DQM959, witnesses told police.
Police are unsure what started the altercation; however, Saucedo told the Easy Reader that “it may have been about last call or closing.” The bar closes at 2 a.m.
Anyone with information about the fight or the whereabouts of the two men is asked to call the Redondo Beach Police Department tip line at 310-937-6685, text 310-339-2362 or email crimetips@redondo.org. People may also contact the police department directly at 310-379-2477.
