Hearing on La Rumba's license in wake of slaying

PROVIDENCE -- A hearing on whether to revoke the liquor license of La Rumba, the nightclub where a man was stabbed to death last week, is on the agenda of today's 1 p.m. city Board of Licenses meeting.

Darren Reagans, 18, was killed last Wednesday night as he waited to enter the club at 1206 Broad St. in the Washington Park neighborhood, the police have said. An all-ages Fourth of July party was being held that night.

The police are asking the board to revoke the license. Read more here.

Yesterday, the mothers of six young people who lost their lives held a news conference in South Providence to advocate nonviolence.
