LAGUNA NIGUEL – A 22-year-old man was stabbed to death during a fight outside a bar in Laguna Niguel early Monday morning, the Orange County Sheriff’s Department said.

Shayan Mazroei, 22, of Laguna Niguel died at 12:47 a.m. Monday at Mission Hospital after Orange County sheriff’s deputies found him stabbed in the upper torso outside Patsy’s Irish Pub, 28971 Street of the Golden Lantern, according to the Orange County Coroner’s Office.

The Sheriff’s Department has identified the suspect in the stabbing as Craig Tanber, a 37-year-old documented gang member, said Lt. Jeff Hallock. He remained at large Monday night.
