Deputies seek suspects in buffet beating

The manager of a Sarasota restaurant was found unconscious after following a group of men who didn't pay their bill late Sunday, July 14, according to a Sarasota County Sheriff's Office news release.

Employees of New Dynasty Chinese Buffet, located on the 6100 block of South Tamiami Trail, discovered 51-year-old Tian "Andrew" Tain with severe head trauma around 9:38 p.m. lying in the driveway of a nearby business. Witnesses heard tires squeal after Tain followed three Hispanic men who hadn't paid for their meals into the parking lot.

Deputies are seeking three Hispanic suspects in their 20s, one who has a pierced lip and eyebrow, and another who has a tattoo of a rosary on his hand.
