According to the laws firms, a Chicas Cabaret security guard stopped Giron at its entrance on December 9 after he paid the cover charge. The security guard shot Perez Giron in the abdomen, without warning or provoking him, despite him stating he had paid and attempting to enter. Officials say after calling 911, Giron was taken to the hospital with severe injuries. Currently, Giron is still in the hospital.
Jesus Garcia, Jr., founder of Kherkher Garcia, LLP, expressed concerns about patron safety, saying Chicas Cabaret should be held accountable.
