Prosecutors have charged a 26-year-old man with homicide after he allegedly punched the manager of a Santa Monica bar, leading to his death, according to authorities.
The Santa Monica Police Department said officers responded to the 2700 block of Main Street, outside of Jameson’s Pub, at about 12:05 a.m. Tuesday morning on reports of a battery.
The investigation found that the manager of Jameson’s Bar asked several patrons to leave. After that, police say one of the patrons punched the manager, leaving him unconscious. No additional details were immediately made available.
