A warrant is out for the arrest of Alberto Rivera -Vázquez, who was charged with first and third-degree murder after a 43-year-old man was found dead on South 6th Street early Sunday morning, according to the Reading Police Department.

Officers found José Rodríguez-Bultron and a second victim with multiple gunshot wounds outside La Cabaña Lounge around 12:15 a.m., police said.

Both victims were rushed to Reading Hospital, where Rodriguez-Bultron died as a result of his injuries, police said.

Investigators believe the incident started when a fight broke out inside the nightclub between the victims' group and another group.

Rivera-Vázquez was then seen leaving the lounge through a back door, hiding behind parked cars, and firing at the victims' group, according to police.

Rivera-Vasquez fled the scene on foot after striking the victims, police said.
