Alexander Gonzales died from the trauma of a bullet traveling into his brain. The conflict started around 2am outside of the Paradise Rock Club. Boston's own Addison Groove Project and the Akashic Record just finished a show. 32-year-old Gonzales tried to enter the club, but bouncers rejected him at the door. They say they went back inside to start closing.
Dead by 2:28am at Beth Israel, within 30 minutes a scuffle escalated to murder. What drama unfolded before shots fired? Why was he trying to get into the club? Was this years in the making, or days or just minutes? The man had a heart condition, looked heavy. He held a piece, police say. After the gunshots, several people tried to help him up off the sidewalk, so there were witnesses. Maybe his killer helped too.

madness commenced at the door
first (maybe) he ran
