Milwaukee, WI - On Tuesday, Rosario Moreno, 35, and Juan Diaz, 45, aka "Carpoforo Benitez" are facing charges in connection with early Monday's shooting outside of the La Zacatecana Bar, 2000 block of S. 13th St. Moreno operates the Security and Investigation Professionals, LLC, a security service agency, according to the business website.
A third security guard is being sought in connection with the case as well. A preliminary investigation indicated that an armed suspect approached several security guards and tried to disarm them, but the suspect was subdued and three shots were fired. The suspect suffered a head injury.
A gunshot spotter in the area alerted police and the injured suspect was found by police investigating the shots fired.
Apparently, police are investigating whether the injured suspect was actually shot inside the tavern. Those involved in the shooting incident then left the scene after abandoning the injured suspect outside of the tavern, according to sources.
Moreno, Diaz and the bar owner were taken into custody in connection with the shooting. Diaz and Moreno have charges pending, but the female bar owner was released on bail and is facing a misdemeanor obstruction charge.
La Zacatecana bar celebrated its Grand Opening on Saturday, according their Facebook account.
According to City of Milwaukee Licenses Committee, a Classic B Tavern and entertainment license was granted to Raquel Perez on May 2016.
The injured suspect allegedly attempted to rob the bar, but police haven't confirmed it.
According to police, the initial investigation revealed an adult male was physically fighting with several other subjects around 1:50 a.m. During the fight one of the subjects retrieved a gun and shot the victim.  Officers arrived on the scene to find the victim suffering from a very serious gunshot wound.  The Milwaukee Fire Department conveyed the victim to a local hospital where he is being treated for his injuries.
