Perez said the business recently transferred ownership. He considered it a strong part of a vital commercial district.

"They've been here. They've been working for awhile and managing it. Finally had the business in their name," Perez said. "We've put a lot of work into the infrastructure around here to keep it safe and this is extremely unfortunate. And my heart goes out to the family."
