Three victims were found at the scene, and two others were later found after going to the hospital with injuries from glass and other objects, the Sheriff's Office said.

Witnesses and video footage identified three suspects that had allegedly gotten into a fight with the victims before the stabbings and slashings occurred.



Sheriff's deputies identified a 37-year-old, 29-year-old, and 30-year-old as the suspects. The three were arrested shortly after, not far away from the restaurant, according to the Sheriff's Office.

The three were booked into Maguire Correctional Facility on allegations of assault with force likely to cause great bodily injury.
