Some his-tor-ie.

The first red lobster in BR opened on Airline and Florida Blvd around 1980. 1981 guy who works there kills the manager and a bunch of other staff in a robbery. After closing. Place supposedly was a blood bath. Chased em around the place and killed them in a bunch of different areas of the place.

That closed the place obviously. The Ethan Allen and such came later and red lobster reopened in that same spot in the 90's.

It failed because of location eventually. The one here in the 2000's or whatever is really the 3rd in BR.

I'm 41 but don't remember any other one in BR.

I don't think the Mall of LA location will last. I drive by it every day and it never looks crowded

I'm pretty sure you have your restaurants mixed up. That exact scenario happened at the Calendars on Perkins near Essen. It's been a few different things since then but it was still Calendars for 15 years or so afterward.

I worked in restaurants for a long time in BR and that story was well known, but it was definitely Calendars. Maybe something like that happened at the RL by Cortana too, but I sure don't remember the incident.
