A man was fatally shot by a nightclub security guard Friday night after getting into a fight at a sports bar, Houston police stated Monday in a news release.
Benito Deleon, 49, was at a Fiesta Michoacan sports bar in Greenspoint when he «got into an argument with a woman,» police stated. When a security guard asked him to leave, Deleon and an unknown man threatened to have people come to the bar and «harm the security guard,» according to police.
The guard called for help at «an adjacent nightclub» — apparently the Amazonia Discotheque in the same strip mall. Another, armed security guard arrived. The guards got into a fight with Deleon and two other men, which culminated in the armed guard shooting Deleon, according to police.
Police stated that Deleon and another man had «severely» injured the armed guard’s shoulder and that he feared «he or his partner would either be further seriously injured or killed.» A grand jury «will decide whether charges are warranted,» said Kese Smith, an HPD spokesman.
The guard called 911 and performed CPR on Deleon until paramedics arrived and declared him dead, according to police.
Police asked anyone with information on the incident to call HPD Homicide at 713-308-3600 or Crime Stoppers at 713-222-TIPS (8477).
