"The legal documents filed last week in Santa Clara County Superior Court assert that Puff Puff Pazz, a limited liability company doing business as the 818 Hookah Lounge at 2229 Lincoln Ave., and the officers running the club Johnathon Elliot and Bethelehem Bekele did not have valid tobacco retail and alcohol licenses nor a conditional use permit for late night activity."
"Police responded to the business on Dec. 7 after reports that gunfire had broken out after an argument, with four victims injured in the shooting, including 25-year-old Elijah Dominguez, who died. The city's legal filing contends the confrontation involved multiple validated gang members before one suspect opened fire into a crowd. As of Friday morning, the city had not yet publicly announced any arrests tied to the shooting. Court documents also shed light on other violent incidents at the club that the city knew about."
San Jose filed for an injunction against Puff Puff Pazz, the LLC doing business as 818 Hookah Lounge at 2229 Lincoln Ave., and operators Johnathon Elliot and Bethelehem Bekele for operating without valid tobacco retail and alcohol licenses and lacking a conditional use permit for late-night activity. The city also named property co-trustees David and Erika Taxin for leasing to businesses operating without proper permits and linked to possible illegal activity. On Dec. 7, during the lounge’s unauthorized late-night operation, a fight erupted and gunfire left four people injured and 25-year-old Elijah Dominguez dead. Court documents cite prior violent incidents and alleged involvement of validated gang members; no arrests had been publicly announced.
