Buffett Causes Slaughter.

A Fort Bragg soldier died this morning in a Denver hospital after suffering extensive injuries in a bar fight over a Jimmy Buffett song.

Richard Lopez, 37, of Fayetteville, N.C., was pronounced dead at 4:16 a.m. today at Denver Health Medical Center.

So far, no suspects have been arrested in the Steamboat Springs incident, although police have talked to two individuals involved in the fight.
The case is being investigated as a homicide.

The incident occurred before 12:15 a.m. Friday when police were called to a fight between five people outside the Tap House.
"The initial disagreement was about music being played on the jukebox," said Rae, adding that it was a Jimmy Buffet song.

"Richard Lopez and two other individuals put on the song, but two other individuals did not agree with it."
It was not known which Jimmy Buffett song was being played at the time, but the fight was taken outside the bar.

While the investigating officer said barfights were not uncommon in the town, it was unusual that a person died in a fight not involving any weapons.
