Drunken brawl preceded hit-and-run that killed 1, injured 6 at Colorado bar

DENVER — A chaotic drunken brawl preceded the hit-and-run at a Golden bar that killed one man and injured six other people early Sunday morning, according to court records.

Adrian Ponce, 26, was killed when a pickup truck driver plowed a Chevy Silverado into a crowd of people outside Rock Rest Lodge on Mount Vernon Road in Golden around 1:43 a.m. Sunday. A bar patron, Ronnie Fisher, 27, and two bar employees, Robert Fulcomer, 52, and Michael Gause, 28, were also seriously injured.

An additional two bar employees suffered minor injuries, and Ponce’s brother, Angel Estrada, 28, was taken to a hospital after the attack and sedated but suffered only minor injuries, according to an affidavit filed against the two men arrested after the attack. Another victim was inside a car that was struck during the attack but was not injured.
