Breckenridge police are looking for two men who attacked, and may have killed, a third after he allegedly insulted a woman at the Salt Creek Steakhouse early Monday.
Thomas Guidry, 35, of Breckenridge, is dead after the assault at the restaurant, 110 Lincoln Ave., about 1 a.m.
Guidry was at the restaurant’s second-floor bar when he began to verbally abuse a woman, witnesses told police.
An employee escorted him downstairs and two men followed. When Guidry reached the steakhouse’s foyer, the two allegedly attacked him.
“He was causing a scene, and they were bystanders to the disturbance. We are not sure why these two gentlemen thought it was their duty to take care of the situation,” said police spokeswoman Kim Green.
The three scuffled, and Guidry fell.
“He went to the ground and was initially moving when he collapsed, but shortly after that he became unresponsive.”
His assailants, identified as white men in their early 20s, fled. A surveillance tape shows one of them wearing a camouflage-type coat and the other with a white baseball cap.
Bystanders called 911 and administered CPR.
Guidry was taken to Summit County Medical Center and pronounced dead.
The incident is being investigated as a homicide.
Anyone with information should contact Detective Sgt. Susan Quesada at 970-547-3137 or Summit County Crime Stoppers at 866-453-STOP (7867).
