The Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission temporarily suspended the liquor license of the bar for 90 days as investigators probe if the bar’s policies or practices were involved with the incident, a TABC official said. The shooting happened after hours at 3:20 a.m., police said.

One suspect has already been arrested and charged with capital murder and two counts of aggravated assault.

Police said that Daniel Barragan, 34, went to his vehicle to retrieve a semi-automatic rifle and opened fire on a group that was standing outside the building.

Two people, April Rodriguez, 32, and Dan Edward Martinez, 28, were pronounced dead at the scene. The third shooting victim, Mauro Rodriguez, 26, died at the hospital.

Two other people were transported to Brooke Army Medical Center with life-threatening injuries.

Barragan fled the location, police said, but was arrested the next day during a traffic stop at Southwest Military Drive and Curtis.

Anyone with information on the second suspect is asked to call the SAPD Homicide Unit at 210-207-7635.
