Houston Fire Dept. inspect a building explosion on Almeda Road in Houston on Friday, June 12, 2020.
Investigators believe a pre-dawn explosion at a Museum District bar Friday morning was caused by a fire that was intentionally set, officials said.
The blast happened around 4:45 a.m. at Bar 5015 at 5015 Almeda Street. No one was injured, but witnesses said the damage was significant.
Fire Chief Samuel Peña said the contents of two to three gas cans may have been poured out in the deck area of the bar. A ignition source was then found, he continued.
The discovery has resulted in a criminal investigation, he said. Arson investigators had requested help from the FBI and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives.
The structure is still standing, although debris from a deck that was damaged reaches hundreds of feet away from the site.
One man was sleeping on a nearby corner when he saw some kind of electrical problem.
“All I saw was an electrical fire, like static electricity,” John Tracy Keeling said. “It kept going and kept going, then I heard a boom. Then I heard another boom and another boom. Stuff started flying places.”
The explosion left debris scattered on the roadway. Firefighters tapped out a few small fires inside the building, but most of the damage was from the shock wave.
“I had just gotten home,” said Travis Webb, who lives nearby. “I literally walked up my stairs, looked out the window and there was a guy running down the street. All of a sudden, the f****** thing just exploded. I just started yelling, ‘Wake up, the bar exploded.’”
He said windows in the apartment blew inward, photo frames fell to the ground and heavy objects were knocked off a kitchen counter.
Authorities have the roadway shutdown as they investigate.

Bar explodes in Houston's Third Ward, investigation underway
A popular Third Ward bar was left in pieces after an explosion early Friday morning.
Wow wtf
The war is on.
They always did this. This was the main reason they lynched black people. Any black person with a business was a sign of getting ahead or advancing. They had to kill them cause you can't have money.
Not to mention this is the area George Floyd grew up in.
#spruced that up for u black man
Fuck all this bomb them back bullshit, talking stupid ain't gone do shit, just like only a dumb nigga would go out and decide they gone retaliate when arson investigators are on full alert in the neighborhood, and they have seen and know sometimes victims retaliate, be smarter.
#1 question did the bar owner have Arson/Fire insurance...waits for first fool to say it ain't about insurance!!!

They always talk that pull yourself up by your bootstrap shit but at the same time wouldn’t want to give you a job. And, when you create your own shit independent of them they bomb you.
That should be fully insured with 100% coverage, please don't tell me a place that nice is not fully insured!!!!Looks like it was a nice place.

It's a fucking bar! Your first cost in a bar is not liquor and the look, it's insurance and taxes!
There is absolutely, no logic to have a place that nice and not have Allstate!
A bar fight or a robbery alone could easily put you out of business.
I was just up there last Friday for happy hour.
The new place was 10x better than the original.
It was poised to be the best spot in the city for 35+
His concept was was the most original in the city.
I really feel bad for dude.

The hell. I know this area. This area is booming on Sundays. CACS stay loosing their minds. Vote to ban the Electoral College.
Bomb 3 of theirs.
What have I said time and time again they don't want nigs to have money
How do we know it was somebody white involved in this? Who knows it could have been someone the owner had beef with or somebody who worked there could have had beef with somebody. Let's wait to see what other info come out of this before blaming somebody.
THIS^^^^
I'm still looking for the part of the story where they said it was someone white that did it.
If gas cans were found on the scene, look for stores that sell that brand of canister and investigate security cams for gas stations in a 10 to 15 mile radius.......
That is step one for investigators....
