The sheriff’s office did not respond to questions from McClatchy News about what kind of establishment it was or the nature of the altercation.

At around 4:40 a.m. on March 3, the man’s 60-year-old father arrived at the house and found the four suspects outside, Nocco said. They got into a confrontation and the suspects shot the father in the head in the driveway, Nocco said.
