About an hour before the shooting, Port St. Lucie Assistant Police Chief Leo Niemczyk said that Sanders was involved in a fight with another individual at The Office Sports Pub along U.S. Highway 1.
Niemczyk said the three suspects, who at the time were at City Limits Sports Bar located on Southwest Gatlin Boulevard, were called by an associate to come to The Office Sports Pub.
