Bryan Soreano filed a complaint Dec. 23 in Harris County District Court against Calenos Ventures Inc., LLC doing business as Rumba Club alleging negligence and other claims.
Soreano alleges in his suit that while at the Rumba Club on Oct. 24, 2021, he was stabbed by another patron in the restroom. He claims Rumba Club's negligence for failing to monitor its guests, failing to implement safety measures to prevent assaults and failed to properly train its employees.
