Request to cancel Tempe Tavern permit increases following deadly hit-and-run
The father of a teenager who tragically lost his life in a hit-and-run incident is seeking accountability from a local bar in Tempe, near Arizona State University. The crash, which ended Joshua Gonzalez's life just before his 19th birthday, has sparked calls for action against Tempe Tavern. The establishment, located close to the university campus, has a history of underage drinking violations and numerous arrests. Joshua's family, spearheaded by his father Justin Gonzalez, believes that the bar played a crucial role in their son's untimely death and are demanding consequences. City leaders and the Gonzalez family are urging the state liquor board to revoke Tempe Tavern's liquor license, as they feel the city lacks the power to shut down the establishment themselves.
