News in Brief

Eastie man pleads guilty

Alvaro Larrama, 40, of East Boston pleaded guilty to manslaughter in the March 2022 stabbing death of Marine veteran Daniel Martinez, 23, who was in Boston with friends for St. Patrick’s Day weekend.  The stabbing occurred outside of the Sons of Boston bar, where Larrama was working as a bouncer.  Judge Josh Wall sentenced Larrama to 17-20 years in prison.  Many of Martinez’s family members and friends were present at the hearing and delivered impact statements, which are attached. 

“The loving memories expressed today by so many of Daniel’s family and friends point to a young man very loved and very missed, a person who served his country honorably and gave unselfishly to his family, friends and community at all times.  I extend my most sincere sympathies to Daniel’s loved ones and I thank them for their moving words today,” District Attorney Kevin Hayden said.

Assistant District Attorney Caitlin Grasso represented the Commonwealth. Larrama was represented by Attorney Gerasimos Antzoulatos.
