Four Nightclub Bouncers Formally Detained in Death of Alexis ‘Pipa’ Rogers

The judge’s order formalizes the four detentions pending autopsy findings.

Overview

  • Rogers, who was denied entry to the Sutton bar in San Miguel, got into a street fight with security early Saturday and collapsed after four guards pinned him.
  • A guarantees judge granted prosecutor Lorena Carpovich’s request to convert the four arrests into formal detentions, advancing the homicide investigation by UFI No. 21.
  • Investigators cite mechanical asphyxia as the leading hypothesis, with the autopsy still pending to determine the official cause of death.
  • Surveillance clips published by local media show a guard holding Rogers by the neck as another hits him, aligning with accounts that he was restrained and struck.
  • Rogers, a stage technician at Tecnópolis, is mourned by his union and family, and his injured son has not yet given a full statement to prosecutors.
