One night in mid-September, two employees say, a "neighborhood guy" came into the restaurant at close to midnight, visibly intoxicated and displaying alarming signs of mental-health issues. Smith was in the restaurant, along with three young women who were working. When the man asked Smith for a beer, the artist offered him water instead - a gesture that the women working say "invited him to stay" despite their safety concerns.
