City commissioners said there is a constant effort to keep Daytona Beach safe.
“We’re trying to make it a respectable entertainment zone,” Commissioner Ken Strickland said. “Not where you have to worry about being harmed physically at closing time with all the chaos.”
Back in November, 21-year-old D’Shawn McLaury was shot and killed near Hookah Pub on Seabreeze Boulevard.
Suspect Raheem Harris was arrested for the shooting and charged with first-degree murder and possession of a firearm by a convicted felon.

The murder prompted city commissioners to pass an amendment in January to require lounges and smoke shops to close at midnight.
Daytona Beach Police pushed for the change because they said they responded to too many calls for fights and shootings around hookah lounges.
Businesses can get around the rule with an extended hours permit.
