INDIANAPOLIS — Indianapolis police are asking state and local agencies to investigate a business where a man was killed Sunday. They say the business was operating without all of the necessary licenses for the events it was holding.
Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department Capt. Christopher Boomershine, who works for the department's commercial crimes branch, said they were shot at Pollos Los Reyes during a party with a rap performer. People as young as 14 years old were in attendance that night, according to Boomershine. According to Boomershine and online records from the state, the liquor license for the business, operating as SNA Restaurants Inc., is set to expire on Aug. 28.
“He was the perfect gentleman," his sister Nicole Dominguez told WRTV, speaking in Spanish through an interpreter."He supported financially his mother, who’s widowed, his wife of 12 years and 3 kids. He'd travel back and forth to Mexico and visit his family between jobs." In recent months, IMPD appears to be using the licenses as a way to crack down on businesses where violent crimes have happened.
Last month, IMPD spoke at a public meeting in support of denying Taps and Dolls and Tikki Bob's its liquor license renewal. Ultimately, the local and state alcohol boards denied a liquor license extension to Taps and Dolls, but Tiki Bob's was given a second chance.
I used to live across the street and LITERALLY always said that you could probably walk inside and either get food poisoning or disappear forever. CRAZY! 🥶🥶
I shouldn't need a license to sell
