Melbourne Police were called to Mugs Pub off Sarno Rd. around 11:15 Sunday night for a man suffering from a gunshot wound. The man was unresponsive upon arrival by police. Medics attempted life saving measures on the unidentified man, but he ultimately died from his injuries and pronounced dead at the scene.
Witnesses say that there was a man screaming in the parking lot, and a customer came inside and told the bartender. They say that the bartender passed it off as someone who was drunk. Approximately 30 minutes later, a second customer came inside and informed the bar tender that there was a man outside bleeding, and that’s when they called 911.
The victim is described as a white male in his 40’s. Witnesses also say that there was money lying around him. A car was seen speeding off on security cameras. Anyone with information about the shooting is asked to call Melbourne police at 321-608-6731 or Crimeline at 800-423-TIPS.
