The Folsom community is coming together to support Powerhouse Pub security guard Lucas Espinoza, who remains hospitalized with significant injuries following the violent incident outside the Historic Folsom establishment early Friday morning. Friends, musicians, regular patrons, and residents throughout the region have begun contributing to a growing GoFundMe effort created to help Espinoza as he continues a long road to recovery.
Espinoza, well known to many who frequent Powerhouse Pub and throughout the community, was seriously injured shortly after 12:30 a.m. when a pickup truck backed into the front of the business and then struck him while attempting to flee. According to the Folsom Police Department, security guards chased the truck on foot after it hit the building. When they approached the driver, he turned the vehicle toward Espinoza, struck him, then reversed and ran over him a second time before driving away.
Powerhouse owners Murray Weaver and Nazaria Nguyen shared their gratitude for the community’s immediate support is profound…
