PHILADELPHIA — Philadelphia police say an arrest warrant on a third-degree murder charge has been issued for a bouncer at a gay bar seen on video punching a patron, who later died.
Deputy Police Commissioner Ben Naish told reporters Wednesday the suspect was expected to either turn himself in or be taken into custody shortly.
Officials say the 41-year-old man was punched and hit his head on the sidewalk outside Tabu Lounge and Sports Bar early April 16, and died a week later.
One of the owners, Jeffrey Sotland, told The Philadelphia Inquirer that the bouncer was not an employee of the bar and was from an outside security company.
