The case is under investigation. There were at least two other bar fights on the Nevada side on Saturday night in which paramedics were called.
Sunday's incident also comes less than a month after a bar fight that left a Ripon, Calif. man critically injured. On May 20, a fight at Mo's Place in South Lake Tahoe resulted in Derek “Zippy” Penaranda, clinging to life in a coma at Renown Medical Center in Reno. The family of Penaranda, 30, told the Tahoe Daily Tribune that he suffered brain damage from the fight.
