PONCHATOULA - Family members of a devout Alabama football fan say he was fatally beaten while out celebrating Saturday night's game in a Tangipahoa Parish bar.

According to police, officers were called to the Ponchatoula Pub early Sunday morning in response to a bar fight with injuries. Police said 46-year-old Robert Bowers suffered serious injuries after being knocked unconscious by two other men at the bar.

Ponchatoula police say a volunteer firefighter provided medical attention until an ambulance arrived and transported Bowers to North Oaks Medical Center in Hammond. He was later moved to University Medical Center where he died Tuesday.

Friends and family had been asking for support for Bowers online using #rolltideforrobert as he fought to stay alive in the hospital this week, soliciting donations to help pay for medical expenses.

A family member tells WBRZ that Bowers, a Louisiana resident, was an adamant fan of the Crimson Tide and had gone out to watch the Bama-LSU game earlier that night. They believe the attack was motivated by Bowers' fandom.

A small tribute to Bowers sprouted up on the sidewalk outside the bar Wednesday afternoon, including candles and Bowers' picture. 

Police Chief Bry Layrisson initially told the Advocate he believed the fight began as an argument over the LSU game, though he later backed away from that assertion, saying the cause of the fight was still unclear. 

The chief added that Bowers' niece was reportedly "agitating" the situation and was removed from the bar before the fight but couldn't say how that may have factored into the altercation. It's believed Bowers was arguing with 27-year-old Azia Crockett when a second person, 24-year-old Ryan Anthony, "blindsided" him. Both men then allegedly proceeded to beat Bowers while he was on the floor.

Crockett and Anthony have been arrested and booked on felony manslaughter charges.

WBRZ learned Wednesday evening that Anthony had married Crockett's sister hours before the incident happened.

The chief said it's the first time he's seen this kind of violence at one of the local bars, calling it a "freak tragic incident". 

The incident remains under investigation.

It's getting late have you seen my mates
Ma tell me when the boys get here
It's seven o'clock and I want to rock
Want to get a belly full of beer
My old man's drunker than a barrel full of monkeys
And my old lady she don't care
My sister looks cute in her braces and boots
A handful of grease in her hair
Oh, don't give us none of your aggravation
We had it with your discipline
Oh, Saturday night's alright for fighting
Get a little action in
Get about as oiled as a diesel train
Gonna set this dance alight
'Cause Saturday night's the night I like
Saturday night's alright alright alright, ooh
Well they're packed pretty tight in here tonight
I'm looking for a dolly who'll see me right
I may use a little muscle to get what I need
I may sink a little drink and shout out she's with me
A couple of the sound that I really like
Are the sounds of a switchblade and a motorbike
I'm a juvenile product of the working class
Whose best friend floats in the bottom of a glass, oh
Don't give us none of your aggravation
We had it with your discipline
Saturday night's alright for fighting
Get a little action in
Get about as oiled as a diesel train
Gonna set this dance alight
'Cause Saturday night's the night I like
Saturday night's alright alright alright, ooh

Guy on the left looks pretty smug for a guy who might be facing manslaughter charges over a freakin football game.  Not worth if, even if it was a conference game.  

Seriously?  This guy will be an LSU legend.  Beat Bama for the first time in 7 years.

Alabama and Louisiana. Only thing that could make this more gutter trash is involving somebody from Florida. 

Dont sell Oklahoma short. Didnt an Okie rip some Longhorn fan's nutsack off at an Okie bar a few years back?

Also sounds like his niece was writing checks his ass couldn't cash.  You can't go get drunk in Louisiana loudly proclaiming your fandom after your team just crushed LSU.  Especially if your team is Bama.

Definitely one of those songs I have been signing wrong for years.  "aggravation" I have been singing as "idle vision" even though it made no sense. and"she's with me" I sang as "symphony."  A few others in there too.

So you even NFL fans going goon thread bro

Not a big fan of the NFL anymore. Don't even care that much about the Cowboys anymore.  

Been to a couple Redskins/Cowboys games. The stands are filled with drunk assholes who think they're just a play away for the coach calling 'em down to the field.

Wonder what all these folks got their degrees in at Bama and LSU?

My first question as well after seeing the pictures.  My bet is that all 3 were one semester away from transferring from podunk junior college to Bama/LSU and then some vague excuses why it didn’t occur.  

Seriously it’s sad this occurred.  No one should get beat up much less murdered because they are representing the other team.  Who cares.
