An East Haven bar where a fatal shooting took place last week had its liquor permit suspended Tuesday, according to Connecticut Consumer Protection Commissioner Michelle H. Seagull.

The East Haven Police Department referred BullsEye Billiards & Bar, which is located at 655 Main St., East Haven, to the Department of Consumer Protection Liquor Control Division on Monday, in regard to the fatal shooting Saturday, according to the DPC.

Julius Bolden-Lowe, 26, died at Yale New Haven Hospital after suffering a gunshot wound Saturday, Aug. 6, police have said. Officers arrived at Bullseye Billiards early Saturday morning after receiving a report of a shooting.

Police said that the shooting occurred after an altercation inside the bar turned physical.

The state agency said the shooting also resulted in “critical injuries to a bystander.”

According to the consumer protection agency, East Haven Police Chief Edward Lennon Jr. described a “pattern of incidents involving violent behavior” at the premise dating back to June 6, 2021. Lennon “noted 62 additional case numbers representing times that police officers were assigned to the premise at closing time ‘in an effort to deter illegal and/or violent activity,’” DPC said in a statement.

“My condolences go out to the friends and family members who lost a loved one in this unfortunate incident,” Seagull said in the statement. “It is clear from repeated incidents that this premise is not operating in a way that prioritizes the health and safety of its customers, neighbors, and community. Thank you to the East Haven Police Department for their investigation into this most recent incident. Immediate suspension and closure of this establishment is necessary to prevent any additional violent incidents.”

BullsEye Billiards & Bar must remain closed until further notice, according to DPC.
