SUNNYVALE — In a sleepy strip mall, Sunnyvale’s first homicide of the year unfolded early Sunday morning in the parking lot outside a bar hosting a night of hip-hop music.

Sunnyvale police on Sunday were still investigating the fatal shooting of a security guard outside the Peacock Lounge. A suspect has yet to be identified. Police Capt. Dave Pitts said the shooting took place around 1:05 a.m. in the front parking lot of the East Fremont Avenue bar, but there were no suspects in custody, and police were not releasing information on the victim.

However, Jay “Randy” Murray, the manager of the Fremont Corners Shopping Center property, told this newspaper he got a call from the bartender after the shooting and was informed the victim was a Peacock Lounge security guard. The male victim was suffering from gunshot wounds when officers arrived, and he was pronounced dead at the scene, according to police.

Pitts confirmed the victim was a bouncer for the bar. Police also said a second person was wounded in the incident but was treated and released from a local hospital.

Murray, who was scraping graffiti off the windows of nearby businesses Sunday afternoon, said police were preparing to review footage from security cameras near the Peacock, which is flanked by a nail salon and a barbecue restaurant, both of which were long closed at the time of the shooting.

“I feel bad for the city of Sunnyvale, and bad for the tenants,” Murray added.

Inside the bar Sunday, a few patrons were parked on bar stools as sports, primarily golf, played on the lounge’s many television screens. A bartender said she had no information on the incident, and the bar owner could not immediately be reached for comment.

There were few other details about the deadly incident at the Peacock, which was apparently hosting a hip-hop music event on Saturday night, police said. The bar’s website shows that the venue often has live music, as well as being a spot for sports events.
