Brandon Douglas Draper, Timothy John Piegari 

PHOENIX — Phoenix Police say the discovery of video evidence has led to the arrests of two employees of a men's club in the off-duty death of a Daisy Mountain Fire Department firefighter.

Police say surveillance video showed 26-year-old bouncer Brandon Douglas Draper pushing 37-year-old Luke Jones to the ground and striking him numerous times and 42-year-old club manager Timothy John Piegari disconnecting the video equipment.

Draper was arrested on suspicion of second-degree murder. Piegari was arrested on suspicion of hindering prosecution and tampering with physical evidence.

Online court records don't list defense attorneys who could comment on the allegations.

Police had said Jones was pronounced dead at a hospital after being involved in an altercation Saturday night at Centerfolds Cabaret in northwest Phoenix.

Jones had a wife and a daughter.
