REDONDO BEACH (CBS) —  A second suspect wanted in the death of a bouncer at a Redondo Beach bar surrendered to police Thursday afternoon.

Francisco “Frank” Cobarruvias Jr., 35, of Redondo Beach turned himself in around 2:30 p.m., said Lt. Joe Hoffman of the Redondo Beach Police Department.

“Cobarruvias showed up unannounced at the front counter of the police department with an attorney and surrendered without incident,” Hoffman said.

Cobarruvias was wanted in connection with the June 2 death of bouncer Terie Colecchi, 49, of Torrance after a fight at the Pat’s II Cocktail Lounge, 1312 S. Pacific Coast Highway.

After last call, Colecchi was reportedly attacked by two men he turned away from the bar about 1:45 a.m. He died at a hospital.

Police arrested 30-year-old Alejandro Avina of Carson on Saturday, but he was released two days later pending further investigation.

Cobarruvias was booked on suspicion of murder, with bail set at $1 million.
