The state has suspended the liquor license of a West Hartford bar where a shooting took place at the beginning of September.
In response to the recent shooting, West Hartford police requested a summary suspension for Los Imperios restaurant on Farmington Avenue through the Department of Consumer Protection.
Police said the suspension follows years of non-compliance and disturbances at the restaurant.
"The move is to ensure the safety of customers and neighbors alike," Lt. Eric Rocheleau of the West Hartford Police Department said.
On Sept. 3, police responded early in the morning to Farmington Ave. for reports of multiple shots fired. Witnesses told police a group of six to eight people began arguing inside the Los Imperios Club. Police believe the situation escalated and shots were fired as the two groups left the club.
No injuries were reported, but two vehicles were found damaged by bullets, and police found more than a dozen shell casings at the scene.
Police believe a silver or tan Cadillac may have been involved and are looking to speak to the owner of the car. The car probably has bullet holes in it, police said.
