Edgar Rivera was 20 when he was shot and killed outside the Happy Place Sports Bar in Orlando, Florida, on July 9, 2018. The shooting happened about 1:30 a.m. after an altercation in the bar’s parking lot; Rivera was pronounced dead at the scene and four other people were wounded. The injured included Qudrain Nelson Hines, Christian Abrego, Ed Rivera, and Adrian Manrique, whose conditions were not immediately disclosed.

Investigators identified two men as suspects. On July 20, 2018, 19-year-old Bryan ONeil Diodonet Cortes was arrested and charged with second-degree murder and four counts of attempted murder after surviving victims identified him as one of the shooters. On August 8, 2018, 34-year-old Roman Marquez-Gonzalez was arrested and charged with second-degree murder and four counts of attempted murder; he is also accused of opening fire during the altercation.

The incident prompted questions about security at the Happy Place Sports Bar, including lighting and surveillance. Does anyone have information about that night or about the bar’s security that could help the case?
