As a performing musician in Los Angeles, he shared the bill with performers such as the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band. He later became a regular at the Troubadour in Los Angeles, where he was part of the group named The Men, some of whose members later formed The Association. In 1963, he went to New York and played in West Village folk clubs, including the Cafe Bizarre, the Night Owl, Cafe Wha? and the Four Winds. Mallory began performing for live audiences in San Francisco's North Beach cafes, such as the Coffee Gallery and Coffee and Confusion.
He received his first guitar at 15, and ran away from home to become a musician the following year. “We were so close my ears were ringing - I’ve never been that close to gunshots in my life,” the witness said.Mallory was born in Berkeley, California on January 10, 1945. The witness said their car was parked right in front of the coffee shop, meaning if they had left a minute sooner they likely would have been in the line of fire. One of the windows of the Starbucks on Granby Street was shot out in the incident, which was boarded up in the following days. “There were seven shots, a pause, and then five more shots” before they were able to get inside a nearby business for safety. After those shots, it took us a second to register (what happened), and that’s when we started running,” they said, adding that they didn’t see the gunman. “We hear screaming, I see people getting, like, rowdy and then all of a sudden seven shots went off. Just as they stepped out from around a corner, they looked toward the Hilton parking deck to see a group of 10 to 15 people gathered closely together about 20 feet away. The witness, who requested to remain anonymous due to the proximity of their place of work to the crime scene, said they were leaving work with several others. In an interview, a witness who works in the downtown area described hearing raised voices coming from Plume Street before gunfire.
Police are shown gathered on Plume between Legacy and the parking deck. Police vehicles block the road, preventing cars from leaving the parking deck of the Hilton hotel - which opens onto Plume Street - for a period of time.
The full video of the altercation also shows some police response to the shooting. Turner said his company did not work with Legacy. At no time should someone be using a chokehold,” Turner said in a text. “You would have to use only the amount of force that’s used against you or used to handle the situation. The authority to use hands is given by the Department of Criminal Justice Services, he said. Any business looking to hire security, whether armed or unarmed, has to employ a company licensed by the Virginia Department of Criminal Justice Services, said Turner, whose company has trained many private security guards in Hampton Roads over the past 15 years. One local nightlife security expert said the actions depicted in the video do not follow proper de-escalation techniques.Īnthony Turner Sr., owner and director of training for G7 Security and Weapons Academy, said licensed security personnel are trained to use words first before putting their hands on a subject. Other city officials deferred questions to the City Attorney’s office, which did not respond to multiple requests for comment about Legacy’s compliance with its security plan.Ī spokesperson for the Norfolk Police Department declined to comment on the video in general or to identify the people depicted, citing an active investigation. “I believe the video speaks for itself,” Filer said.Ĭity spokesperson Kelly Straub refused to provide any information on whether Legacy has been shut down, is operating under different circumstances, or is under review, because “this is an ongoing investigation.” The bar was open and serving customers this week.
Mayor Kenny Alexander and City Manager Chip Filer said they had seen the video but declined to comment. The video of the altercation is circulating at Norfolk City Hall. But it’s unclear to what extent the city has reviewed whether Legacy was in compliance with its own security plan. The shooting has led to a crackdown on some nightlife establishments, with the city reviewing permits for a wide swath of businesses, a process some owners say is unfair.
