Club owner says alleged gunman was jilted
By Michael Levenson, Globe Staff
Tom Tsoumas, managing owner of the Foxy Lady, said this morning that the alleged shooter, whom he identified as Scott Medeiros, had what he described as "affections with a bartender who didn't want to see him anymore."
"He was told a couple of weeks ago when he approached the club not to go in because it wouldn't be in the best interests of the club and the young lady" who tended bar, Tsoumas said in a telephone interview.
But Medeiros showed up at the club, heavily armed, around 2:30 a.m., Tsoumas said. "He came back -- in his own mind -- to settle the score," Tsoumas said.
Tsoumas identified the victims as Bobby Carreiro, a host, who had given Medeiros the order to stay away a few weeks ago, and Tory Marandos, 30, a manager. It is unclear whether the shooter killed himself.
"This is just a crazed person," Tsoumas said. "You can't explain unreasonable happenings in a reasonable, logical way. It's just unthinkable what happened."
Marandos had hired Medeiros to install security cameras at the club a few years ago, Tsoumas said. Medeiros had not worked at the club since, he said.
"It's a tragedy beyond words," Tsoumas said.
