The Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission is suspending the Boom Boom Bar's license for 90 days after this week's deadly shooting at the bar.
TABC said they are conducting an investigation into the events that took place at the east-side bar on August 15, when five people were shot. Three people died as a result of their injuries.
Police said some type of altercation occurred inside the bar and one person went outside, got a rifle and started shooting.
A brother and sister, along with another man, were killed in the shooting.
Police arrested a suspect the following day. Daniel Barragan faces three charges of capital murder.
Police said the bar was operating after hours. According to investigators, the owner was trying to get people to leave, but family members of the victims believe the owners hold some responsibility.
A statement posted by the TABC about the suspension reads in part:
"Early reports indicate the incident began with a fight inside the bar, which later escalated to a larger fight outside the location. The brawl eventually resulted in gunfire that hit at least five people. Two victims were pronounced deceased at the scene, with a third later dying of their injuries at a hospital. Investigators from TABC’s Target Responsibility for Alcohol-Connected Emergencies (TRACE) unit were immediately notified of the shooting and began an investigation within hours of the incident. The investigation seeks to determine whether the sports bar’s policies or practices played a role in the shooting.
In the meantime, TABC Executive Director Bentley Nettles used the agency’s emergency powers to suspend the bar’s liquor license for 90 days. During the suspension, no alcohol may be served or sold at the location. State law allows TABC to suspend a business’ permit for up to 90 days if it’s determined that continued operations could place public health or safety at risk."
