One is in critical condition; the other is in stable condition. All four men were employees at Old Key Lime House. Staff told WPTV they were out celebrating their annual holiday party, and a group of employees went to The Rock Irish Pub to pay pool.
A friend of Stratis, Tina Dearinger, shared a statement to WPTV:
"RIP Steven. We’re lucky to have gotten to share some time with a beautiful soul."
According to a preliminary investigation, an altercation occurred inside the pub, which led to the shooting.
