Witness Jimmy Hernandez told KHOU11 that he tried to break up the fight outside of the bar.
“And all of a sudden we’re going home, an altercation happened, and we’re like hey break it up, and it’s just one of those things you try to do a good thing, and why? I don’t understand, it’s pretty sad,” he said.
Investigators are hoping that the incident was caught on surveillance camera to assist their analysis.
