CORI CHECK, MEDFORD HOUSING DID WHAT SONS OF BOSTON BAR DID, AND IT IS WRONG

Sons of Boston bar did not background check bouncer who allegedly killed Marine veteran

23-year-old U.S. Marine veteran Daniel Martinez died

 

The downtown bar where its bouncer is accused of killing a Marine veteran was grilled by the city’s licensing board on Tuesday as the pub faces a litany of violations.

Sons of Boston bar — whose lawyer during the licensing board hearing said the fatal incident was “not foreseeable” — did not conduct a background check of murder suspect Alvaro Larrama before the pub hired him as a bouncer.

Sons of Boston has already lost its entertainment license after the fatal stabbing outside the Union Street bar last month. Larrama, a 39-year-old East Boston father of four, is charged with stabbing 23-year-old U.S. Marine veteran Daniel Martinez to death after the pair apparently got into a confrontation.
