BOSTON — The owners of a once-popular bar in Boston plan to reopen under a new name more than a year after authorities say a worker stabbed a Marine veteran to death outside of the establishment.
The Licensing Board for the City of Boston on Thursday granted a name change to the owners of the Sons of Boston on Union Street.
Owners plan to rename the bar as The Loyal Nine, although it’s unclear when it will reopen its doors.
Alvaro Larramma was working as a bouncer at Sons of Boston on the evening of March 19, 2022, when he stabbed 23-year-old Daniel Martinez in the chest, according to Suffolk District Attorney Kevin Hayden.
Martinez was rushed to Massachusetts General Hospital, where he was pronounced dead.
Larramma has since been arraigned on a murder charge in connection with Martinez’s death. He also faces charges that stem from an assault involving a bar patron on March 6.
Martinez, a Chicago native, was in town visiting friends for St. Patrick’s Day.
After the stabbing, the licensing board, in a unanimous vote in April, voted to indefinitely suspend the liquor license of the Sons of Boston.
Martinez’s family subsequently announced plans to sue the bar.
