EDITOR’S NOTE: The Justice for Kevin march will be taking place at 6:30pm EST on Wednesday, Dec. 7, at 4020 E. Lombard Street in Baltimore, Maryland, not on Thursday, Dec. 8.
Kevin Torres was beloved by his family and his community. After emigrating from Honduras decades ago, Torres built a life in Baltimore, where he and his wife ran a concrete and construction company, along with raising their family. In his spare time, Torres coached the Villanueva adult Soccer Team. On the night of Nov. 6, Kevin was out with family and friends at ChrisT Bar in Highlandtown celebrating his team’s victory in their league championship. But the festive atmosphere took a quick turn after a dispute over a missing cellphone resulted in an altercation involving the bar’s security guard. Kevin tried to intervene when the security guard began to argue with his stepdaughter. Moments later, Kevin was dead. As The Baltimore Sun reported, “The security guard told Baltimore Police he discharged his gun early Monday morning because Torres threw a brick at him. But three witnesses disputed that account… The security guard has not been arrested and officials declined to release his name.”
What really happened on the night Kevin Torres was killed at ChrisT bar? Why do these shootings at the hands of private security guards keep happening? And what can be done to secure justice for Kevin and his family? In this exclusive interview, TRNN Editor-in-Chief Maximillian Alvarez sits down with Sor Torres, Kevin’s wife, Erick Vicenty, Kevin’s stepson, and Kevin Medina, a close friend of the family.
A GoFundMe has been set up to help Kevin’s family pay for funeral costs: https://www.gofundme.com/f/funeraria-para-m-esposo?utm_campaign=p_cp+share-sheet&utm_content=undefined&utm_medium=copy_link_all&utm_source=customer&utm_term=undefined

It's amazing how so many details get twisted. It was so much more to that story than what they're telling. Listen to the 28:6 min mark where he stumbles n restrains himself from saying what else he had in his system, they know what they are doing. This man wasn't the angel everyone makes him out to be. He did way more that night than what ofcourse his family n friends will say. That man NEVER raised his hands or got on his knees! Everyones always the victim smh…
This is hard to watch without getting teary eyed. I send prayers and condolences to the familia and friends. Worry not with the troubles of this life have faith in the most high. Forgive and spread love for the only guarantee we have is that we all will lose everything& everyone we care for. Accept and understand this, strive to love your neighbor as you love yourself, and the violence and hate will disintegrate.
Condolence to the family good job he's been charged for murder much love from Australia
typical baltimore police. the bar owner is covering his ass. time to get an attorney and subpeonia issued for the video
Justice will be done no matter what happens here on this sin cursed earth. I'd rather face earthly Justice than God's Justice. Vengeance is MINE saith the Lord. My prayers are with you all. I pray that Justice will be done here and that u don't have 2 wait for God's Justice.
Sounds like a cover up to me
The security guard has been charged now fyi.
We The People demand justice for Torres and family members now!!!
He was shot and murder like a unwanted dog! I hope that this family gets the justice that they deserve…either in the courts or the streets…makes me no difference how evil men that are children of the devil are delt with. I pray for this family and pray for God's judgment! May KARMA visit the murderer of this family and reap vengeance on the murderer and all that he deems precious and judgment day comes swiftly as an eye for an eye and just by chance he repents before God's final judgment! God's law to man…THY SHALT NOT KILL!
This is so sad.
My sympathies to this poor family friends and the community❤ much love from 🇳🇴
Wow im so sorry this happened that man that shot him needs to be arrested
At that moment I was unable to listen to the son talk any more so I will find a different way to learn about this case..
Did the mom actually keep saying "at that moment" or is the son just a terrible translator? Can someone that speaks Spanish tell me please .. it bothers me so much that nearly every single time he went to translate her words he stats it with at that moment.. It is almost so unbearable im having a hard time finishing the video .. and she deserves to have her words heard and her pain felt by everyone but the son is really ruining this tragic moment by f***ing up the retelling.. he needs to not do that….. someone stop him i can't take it.
If it’s not bad enough that 85% of Police DON’T KNOW the LAW. WHY Are Security Guards even Armed ? So Sorry For your Loss.
A private citizen killed him and there are witnesses. Why has that person not been arrested and charged?
PEOPLE BETTER LEARN COPS ARE YOUR ENEMIES, SECURITY GUARDS ARE NOT TO CARRY GUNS AND KILL PEOPLE, CITIZENS HAVE YOUR GUNS NEAR TO PROTECT YOURSELF
You can Beat the Charge… You Can't Beat the Ride. You May Live through the SWAT Raid… Your home will be Destroyed.
Instead of "Defund the Police"… "Hold the Cops ACCOUNTABLE & Abolish Qualified Immunity (Institute for Justice) & Establish Mandatory Minimum Punishments!”
The WAR on the pesky citizens continues! The Cops will find a Crime for every pesky Citizen! Back the Blue and get your crime too!
SNAFU… Government & Cops Earning the Hate!
Cop tells pesky citizen… Your Constitutional "Rights" & Life does NOT mean a Damn thing out on the Streets… Sue me … We have Qualified Immunity, we have copsplain & Lies, we control the narrative, we will investigate ourselves, the blue line of corruption & Police Union will protect us, and there is NO Accountability for anything I do… so fook you pesky citizens and your BS “rights”!
The Beatings Will Continue… Until Your Compliance Improves… the Government wants good Obedient Slaves! Privacy, Freedom, & Liberty is VERBOTEN! Pacification by Force!
If I have to Follow the Law the Government has to Follow the US Constitution!
Michael Malice – “There is no law so obscene that the police would not be willing to enforce it, up to and including the mass execution of innocent children.”
There is NO such thing as Government Safety & Security. "Safety & Security" is a Nanny State phrase designed to justify whatever control the government wants. The Venn Diagram of Governments "Safety & Security" is a Single Circle around the Government and You ain't in it!
Where would he get a loose brick at a fucking bar? And why is that worth killing someone over rather than just removing him from the bar or de-escalating the dispute!?
HAS AN ARREST BEEN MADE YET?
Sad to hear that.
