Amigos Mexican Grill in Laurel, Maryland, is closed for at least a month or until it meets certain conditions after a Cinco de Mayo event at the establishment ended in a shooting and separate stabbing that left five people total injured.
City officials said they suspended the restaurant’s use and occupancy permit and ordered the business closed as of Friday. The city found the restaurant misrepresented its security plan and its use of space related to the Cinco de Mayo celebration.
Three people were shot and two were stabbed near the premises, at 13600 Baltimore Ave., around 10:30 p.m. Tuesday. Police responded to complaints about a large gathering in the area and were monitoring the celebration when a fight broke out and officers decided to shut down the event early.
Police said two men and a woman were shot during the altercation, and then a separate domestic dispute led to the stabbing of two adults in the restaurant parking lot.
鈥淭he safety of our residents, visitors, and businesses remains our highest priority,鈥� Mayor Keith Sydnor said. 鈥淭he City of Laurel will continue working with our public safety and regulatory partners to ensure accountability and compliance with all City requirements.鈥�
