She owned the building for almost two decades then sold the venue over the past two months.
“Chauvin was our off-duty police for almost the entirety of the 17 years that we were open,” Santamaria said. “They were working together at the same time, it’s just that Chauvin worked outside and the security guards were inside.”
Despite the two overlapping with their work schedules on popular music nights within the last year, Santamaria said she can’t say for certain whether they knew each other because there were usually a couple dozen security guards, which included off-duty officers."
