Daniel Avila, 24, was shot to death on January 31, 2014, in McAllen, Texas, outside the Gamehaus bar at 2109 West Nolana Avenue. The shooting occurred in the parking lot in the early hours after an altercation between two large groups who had been ejected from the bar. Avila had just arrived and tried to intervene to break up the fight when shots were fired. His friend Rene Garcia, 26, was wounded and hospitalized.

McAllen police arrested several people in connection with the incident: Israel Rocha, 37, Christopher Flores, 28, and Richard Arispe, 20. Investigators identified Manuel Sanchez, Jr. as the alleged triggerman and later arrested him and charged him with murder. Rocha, Flores, and Arispe all had prior records, and Rocha had been recently released on parole for a drug charge. The Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission temporarily suspended Gamehaus’s liquor license after the shooting; the suspension was lifted after a week and the bar added off-duty officers and other security measures.

Avila was a father of four; his family expressed grief and called for better security at the bar. Does anyone have information about the events that night or saw what happened in the Gamehaus parking lot?
