He went to celebrate becoming a grandfather and ended up dead: who was the man murdered by bouncers in a bar in San Miguel

A grandfather celebrating the birth of his grandchild was killed during a violent altercation with bouncers at a bar in San Miguel, Argentina.

Alexis Oscar ‘Pipa’ Rogers, a 50-year-old man, was celebrating the birth of his grandchild when he and his companions attempted to enter the Sutton bar in San Miguel. Upon their arrival at 3:36 a.m. on Saturday, they were denied entry and asked to leave by security personnel stating that the bar was closing. Rogers, dressed in black shorts and a t-shirt, allegedly spoke to a bouncer before being slapped, which triggered a violent confrontation outside the bar.

In a shocking escalation, bouncers physically attacked Rogers, and reports indicate they employed excessive force, including chokeholds, to subdue him. Witnesses and security footage reveal that Rogers was struck multiple times and was incapacitated during the struggle. Tragically, this violent encounter resulted in his death, raising serious concerns about the actions of the security staff and the protocols in place at nightlife venues.

The incident has incited outrage within the local community, prompting discussions about the accountability of bouncers and the need for stricter regulations regarding security practices in bars and clubs. Law enforcement is currently investigating the circumstances around Rogers' death, further highlighting issues related to violence in nightlife settings across Argentina.
