A New Year’s Eve argument at a Spartanburg County bar turned fatal in the early morning hours when 32-year-old Jose Luis Perez of Boiling Springs was shot and killed. Deputies were called to El Gordo Bar on Asheville Highway at about 2 a.m. and found Perez already deceased. Witnesses reported an argument preceded the shooting.

Investigators quickly identified two suspects. That same day authorities arrested 26-year-old Elder Ramirez Escobar and 37-year-old Tiffany Dawn McAbee. Escobar was charged with murder and possession of a weapon during the commission of a violent crime; McAbee was charged with accessory after the fact of murder for allegedly assisting Escobar after the shooting. Escobar was located and taken into custody in a hotel room in North Carolina.

Are there witnesses or anyone who was at El Gordo Bar that night who can add details about how the altercation began or what happened inside the bar?
