Gabriel Pico, a late member of the
Pechanga Band of Luiseño Indians, was injured during a "physical altercation" with a bouncer at a strip club in Denver, Colorado.
The altercation occurred in the early morning hours of August 30. Pico, 41, was taken to a hospital, where he died on Monday.
Authorities are investigating the incident. It may take weeks before a coroner determines the cause of death.
Pico, who was elected to the tribal council in July, was in Denver to attend the
Democratic National Convention. He was not a delegate, a tribal spokesperson said.
