An evening out in Phoenix ended with the death of 37-year-old Daisy Mountain firefighter Luke Jones after an altercation outside Centerfolds Cabaret on January 21, 2017. Jones, a 12-year veteran of the fire department, was taken to a hospital with critical injuries and later died. Phoenix police treated the incident as a homicide.

Surveillance footage described in police reports shows a bouncer, Brandon Douglas Draper, pushing Jones to the ground and striking him multiple times while Jones was wearing an arm brace for a prior injury that limited his ability to defend himself. The club manager, Timothy John Piegari, was accused of disconnecting the venue’s external video surveillance equipment and was arrested on related charges.

Jones was remembered by colleagues as a gentle and funny man and is survived by his wife and daughter. If anyone witnessed the events that night or has information about the case, please share what is known.
