BUFFALO, N.Y. -- Rooftops Bar and Grill in Buffalo's Lovejoy neighborhood is shut down for now as an investigation begins into a man's death.
Eric Dragone, 26, is charged with murder. Police said he hit and killed 44-year-old Jason Hiscutt of Buffalo with his car outside the bar early Saturday morning.
Neighbors gathered at a public meeting Thursday night to talk about what happened and what's to come.
Buffalo Common Councilmember Rich Fontana requested the Buffalo Police Department shut the bar down until people can get some answers.
While the bar's owner said this is the first time there has been a major incident at the bar, neighbors have said there are constantly problems there.
"Communication needs to be improved at that bar and this community," Rich Fontana, (D) Buffalo Common Council Member. "There have been multiple people that have approached me and my wife at our house saying the problems over at Reiman and Benzinger. Multiple. Now I don't know who these people really are, if they have a problem with Annette, or if they have a problem with the bar. But multiple people at that intersection are calling me with concerns."
Fontana said if the investigation by the Buffalo Police Department and State Liquor Authority is satisfactory, the bar will be able to re-open.
