ALE suspends liquor license at StarBar for second time since 2020
INVESTIGATION AND WHY HIS OWNER
NEEDS YOUR HELP.
>> BREAKING NEWS FROM WRAL
COVERAGE. YOU CAN COUNT ON.
>> BREAKING RIGHT NOW AT 10, A
TROUBLED RALEIGH BAR LOSES ITS
LIQUOR LICENSE. THIS COMES
AFTER A STRING OF VIOLENT
INCIDENTS AT THE ESTABLISHMENT.
THANK YOU FOR JOINING US.
I'M GRACE HOLLAND AND I'M
GERALD OWENS. THIS PAST
WEEKEND, A MUSICIAN PERFORMING
AT THE STAR BAR WAS THE
INTENDED TARGET OF THE
SHOOTING.
>> THE BUREAU'S CARLY HAYNES IN
THE LIVE CENTER. CARLY, THIS
WAS IN THE FIRST TIME THE BAR
LAWSUIT, ABC LICENSE IS ACTIVE.
THIS SECOND TIME IN LESS THAN
5 YEARS, BOTH RELATED TO
VIOLENCE. MOST RECENTLY THIS
SCENE. THIS WAS SUNDAY MORNING
AT 3 O'CLOCK.
>> WHEN RALEIGH POLICE ARRIVED
TO THIS LOCATION, THEY SAW MORE
THAN 20 SHELL CASINGS AT
SEVERAL CARS THAT HAVE BEEN
HIT BY GUNFIRE, INCLUDING THE
BAN OF A PERFORMER THERE.
NOW, FORTUNATELY, NO INJURIES,
BUT IT DID PLAY INTO THE
DECISION TODAY BY A LEE
INVESTIGATORS. NOW WE MENTIONED
WHERE THIS LICENSE HAD BEEN
REVOKED BEFORE THAT WAS IN 2020
WAS ONLY REINSTATED IN 2021.
BUT OVER THE COURSE OF THE PAST
YEAR, WE WENT THROUGH WRAL
ARCHIVES AND THERE HAVE BEEN
AT LEAST 17 REPORTED INCIDENTS
AT THIS LOCATION OVER THE PAST
