Miguel Rodriguez Albisu: Wedding venue owner points gun at newlywed couple during reception
SOUTHWEST RANCHES, FLORIDA: A beautiful wedding reception for a Florida couple turned into a horrifying event when the owner of their reception venue pointed a gun at them and ordered everyone to "get out". In a video posted on Instagram by Jonathan Campo, the DJ and cousin of the bride, the man who looked irritated was seen waving the weapon and shouting, "Get out! Get out! Don’t make me. Get out! Get out! Get out!" at the terrified guests and the couple, Thursday night, 2 March.
Along with the video, Campo wrote, "Before I knew it, I was staring down the barrel of his gun, and at that moment, when I saw his eyes, I was prepared to be killed, and I was coming to terms that my children were about to lose their dad for no reason."

'The man with a gun'
The bride rented the venue at Cielo Farms in Southwest Ranches until 11:30 pm, but the worker ordered the event to shut down by around 10:50 pm. In an interview with WSVN, the DJ said that a worker at the venue ordered him to turn off the music over fears of noise complaints, then spilled a drink on his equipment even though he had turned the music down.
"By this time, the entire wedding party is aware of what’s going on," said Campo. Moments later, the man with a gun, whom Campo identified as the owner of the venue, showed up and went ballistic.
Campo said the man "just started brandishing the gun everywhere, at everybody. He put it at my uncle’s face, put it at my cousin who got married, the bride, put it at her head, waved it at her husband’s head". "Why am I bracing myself to get shot? All I was doing was DJing my cousin’s wedding and trying to give her her last dance," he added. A scared and terrified wedding guest, Aixa Figueroa, called 911.
