LOCAL : Another Santa Ana Bar Shooting
An unidentified man was found shot to death early this morning behind the Red Baron Bar, a small Santa Ana tavern that was the scene of a shooting spree three weeks ago.
Police found the dead man at about 1 a.m. in the parking lot of the bar in the 1800 block of South Main Street, Santa Ana police spokeswoman Maureen Thomas said.
“He’s a John Doe right now,” Thomas said.
Thomas said one witness gave homicide detectives a description of a vehicle that was seen leaving the bar at about the time the man was thought to have been shot.
The description of the vehicle was being withheld while detectives try to track down the owner, Thomas said.
The death was the second violent incident at the bar in less than a month. On Aug. 27, an unidentified gunman stuck a hand into the front door of the bar and opened fire with a semi-automatic weapon, wounding five patrons.
