A Florida couple’s marriage got off to a rocky start when the owner of their reception venue pointed a gun at them and ordered everyone to “get out” — following a fight over music.
The irate man waving the weapon and shouting at the terrified guests Thursday night at Cielo Farms in Southwest Ranches, according to a bizarre video posted by Jonathan Campo, the DJ and bride’s cousin.
“He begins to wave it at everyone at the party, telling us to all get out, ‘Get out! Get out!’” Campo told WPLG, adding that the mayhem erupted during the last song of the night.
The DJ told WSVN that a venue employee told him to turn off the music due to noise complaints, but then spilled a drink on his equipment despite the fact that he had turned the music down.
“By this point, everyone in the wedding party is aware of what’s going on,” Campo told the outlet.
Moments later, the gun-wielding man, whom Campo identified as the venue’s owner, arrived and went ballistic.
“Get out! Get out! Don’t make me … Get out! Get out! Get out!” the man in a yellow shirt is heard saying in the terrifying footage as people flee.
Aixa Figueroa, a wedding guest, said she called 911 because she was afraid for her life.
“I was terrified. I wasn’t sure if I was going to be going home without a family member,” she told the outlet.
Campo also posted the video on Instagram, where he described the incident.
He stated that the bride rented the venue until 11:30 p.m., but the worker ordered the event to end by 10:50 p.m.
The worker returned with the armed man after an altercation.
“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 was coming to terms that my children were about to lose their dad for no reason,” Campo wrote on Instagram, where he goes by djichhomie.
According to him, the worker also punched one woman in the face.
Miguel Rodriguez Albisu, 58, has been charged with nine counts of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon without intent to kill.
According to state records cited by the Miami Herald, Albisu is a corporate officer of Cielo Farms Nursery, which has the same Volunteer Road address as the man’s home.
WPLG reported that Christian Sergio Rafart was also arrested in connection with the incident and charged with battery and resisting arrest.
