BOSTON (WBBM NEWSRADIO) - A bouncer at a Boston bar has pleaded not guilty to a weekend stabbing that left a former Marine from Palos Hills dead.
23-year-old Daniel Martinez had gone to Boston to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day with friends from the Marines. They were outside the Sons of Boston Pub on Saturday night, when Martinez and a group of friends tried to get back in the bar.
Words were exchanged with the bouncer, 38-year-old Alvaro Larrama.
Martinez and his friends were walking away when, a prosecutor said, video showed the bouncer following. Martinez hit the bouncer in the head with a beer can and Larrama stabbed him in the chest.
“How is this even possible?” He survived four years in the Marines. That man does not have any clue how many lives he destroyed when he took my son.,” Martinez’s mother, Apolonia, told Boston’s WBZ-TV.
A prosecutor said the bouncer went back in the bar after the stabbing and cleaned himself up before going out the back door.
He turned himself in two days later and was charged with murder.
