Wrongful death lawsuit filed against Fred’s Bar and Grill could go to trial

BATON ROUGE, La. (Louisiana First) — The case of the family of a man who was killed in a brawl outside of a Baton Rouge bar will be heard by a jury.

According to court records, Devin Repath’s family filed a wrongful death lawsuit against Fred’s Bar & Grill, the insurance company, and some employees, accusing them of failing to protect their patrons from harm.

The lawsuit claims that an argument inside the bar turned into a fight outside of the establishment in March 2024. It also alleges that bar staff didn’t intervene quickly enough, and they should have known the patron’s level of inebriation.

Fred’s Bar & Grill responded by filing for a dismissal, claiming that the establishment can’t be sued because the fight occurred after the involved parties were ejected by security.

A district judge denied the dismissal and ruled in favor of the family, allowing their case to head to trial.

Repath died days after the altercation. His cause of death was blunt force trauma to the head and was ruled a homicide.

Matthew Marsiglia, 21, was charged with manslaughter in connection with the incident.

A trial date has not yet been set.
