Eduardo Eddie Perez, 28, was fatally shot at the Glades Club in Homestead, Florida, on March 2, 2025. The shooting happened about 8:45 p.m. after a physical altercation between Perez and 62-year-old Paul Edward Koch. Koch was escorted out, returned with a handgun from his vehicle, and shot Perez after being confronted again when he re-entered the bar.

Koch also went to the outdoor patio and fatally shot another patron, drummer Marc Hess. Witnesses said roughly 100 people scrambled for safety as gunfire erupted. Officials stated neither Perez nor Hess was armed or had provoked Koch; the confrontation began over a spilled drink. A third person accidentally shot himself in the leg while fleeing and was taken to a hospital.

Koch was arrested and charged with two counts of second-degree murder and held without bond at Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center. Anyone who was at the Glades Club that night or has information about the altercation is asked to come forward.
