BALTIMORE — Police have charged a security guard with shooting and killing a man outside an East Baltimore bar last month.
It happened November 27 outside ChrisT Bar on E. Lombard Street.
That's where 35-year-old Kevin Torres was celebrating with members of a local soccer team he coached.
As the bar began to let out for the night, Torres' daughter reportedly got into an argument with another woman.
Keith Luckey, 39, happened to be working security at the bar when he intervened to break-up the altercation.

At some point, witnesses told WMAR that Luckey attempted to hit the girls with his baton.
Things took a turn for the worse, when Torres got involved and pushed the guard to the ground.
WMAR learned the bar manager told Torres to leave, which he apparently did, but the incident was far from over.
According to charging documents, Luckey and Torres continued to exchange words outside.
Surveillance footage captured the heated encounter which shows Luckey spraying Torres with what appeared to be mace, from approximately 8-10 feet away.
Torres reacts by throwing a brick at Luckey, which ultimately misses.
Initially police say Luckey retreated, however he soon reversed course and walked back towards Torres who was in the process of picking up another brick.

Luckey allegedly then fired six shots killing Torres, before the second brick was tossed. Investigators found that the gun Luckey used was equipped with an illegal extended magazine.
During an interview with detectives Luckey admitted to the shooting, claiming he feared for his life and acted in self defense.
"He had a brick. He threw one at me, then he picked up a bigger one and threw it at me," Luckey told police. "Based on my knowledge, training, and experience, I know [the brick] to be a weapon that can cause grievous bodily harm or death, so at that point I took out my weapon, fired, and he was hit."
It wasn't until a month later that investigators announced Luckey would be charged with first-degree murder.
In their report detectives concluded it was Luckey's "legal duty to retreat and walk away from the situation before resorting to deadly violence."
“We just want Justice for my father. That’s really it," said Torres' step-son following the murder. "I don’t really wish any ill-intentions on the security officer but hopefully he gets what he deserves, prison time whatever it may be."
Court records show Luckey also faces charges for assaulting another victim with a baton at the same bar back in September. He's due in court for that case on December 15.
