Police initially said they believed an argument erupted inside the bar and Olguin intervened. At some point, a bar patron produced a gun and a shootout started.

Another male, 26-year-old Jose Covarrubious, was also killed in the shooting.

A Crime Stoppers report states that witnesses reported seeing multiple people shooting.

Anyone with information about any of the shooters is asked to contact Crime Stoppers, who is offering a reward for up to $5,000 for information leading to an arrest.
