TAMPA, Fla. - A man is facing a manslaughter charge nearly two weeks after a fight at a bar led to the death of another man who was working security, according to the Hillsborourgh County Sheriff's Office.

HCSO said Joshua Valdibieso, who was 26 at the time and has since turned 27, was among a group of patrons involved in a fight with security on July 2 at Tally Ho Bar, Lounge & Grille off 56th St. north of Sligh Ave.

Kenneth Washington, 50, intervened and was hit in the head by Valdibieso, deputies said. Washington later died at the hospital.
