PASCO, Wash. (AP) — Police are looking for two Pasco men charged with murder in the stabbing death of nightclub bouncer.

The 41-year-old man, Froilan Godines, was attacked as he walked to his car early Sunday from the El Patron Night Club in Pasco. He had reportedly confronted one of the men earlier about taking a drink out of the bar.

The two accused, 28-year-old Adan Virgen-Ponce and 20-year-old Concepcion S. Virgen, were charged Monday in Franklin County District Court with second-degree murder. The Tri-City Herald reports Virgen-Ponce is Virgen’s uncle.

Police say Virgen-Ponce first fought with the bouncer and said he would return. He picked up his nephew from his home. Witnesses told officers they saw a man hold Godines while another stabbed him.
