Richard Bernal, 41, was shot and killed outside On the Rocks Cocktail Bar in Chula Vista, California, in the early hours of November 13, 2021. A fight that began inside the bar moved outdoors and escalated to gunfire; Bernal was transported to a hospital and pronounced dead, while a 17-year-old boy shot in the same incident was reported in stable condition.

Investigators tied the shooting to a dispute outside the bar and identified 33-year-old parolee Tracy Reasonover of San Diego as a suspect. Reasonover was arrested ten days later in Springfield, Illinois, and returned to San Diego County to face charges including murder, attempted murder, assault with a semi-automatic weapon, and being a felon in possession of a firearm. He pleaded not guilty to the charges. Reports say Bernal’s family may explore claims against the bar’s owners over security measures such as lighting, cameras, and personnel.
