Hammond man gets four years for shooting gun during bar fight – Chicago Tribune

A man from Hammond was sentenced to four years in prison on Thursday, which was for shooting guns during a bar battle on August 26, 2019 at the East Flick Sarai in Hemond.

28 -year -old Xavier Solis convicted several shots in the victim on September 28 for criminal negligence, recalling her. He faced for four years under the plea deal.

His father Xavier Solis said that he himself lost two sons, Xavier and Eliza, shot and killed in 2008 and 2020. He sought generosity.

Defense lawyer John Cantarel said that Xavier “approved”.

It was a “crazy battle” in which the firing was done and the pool balls were thrown at an empty dive bar after a bear game. It started because a “girl was dancing to another boy” and a man he knew “went mad,” he said.

He sought a year in jail and two more probation.

Deputy Prosecutor Jacqueline Altapar asked for a four -year prison, Solis had other cases, in which the 2018 scare case was fixed with a petition. Cantarel said that Solis was facing a two -year prison for probation violations in a federal gun case.


Judge Salvador Waskes sentenced him to four -year prison, saying that the previous attempts to help him stay out of trouble were “total failure”.

Court records suggest that he has recently been facing allegations of armed robbery.

According to court documents, the victim was in the bar when he saw his friend’s brother’s girlfriend.

After making a comment about “talking to other people”, in court documents, he was encountered by a ponytail by a Hispanic person, identified by several witnesses as Michael Anthony Rivera.

A fistfight broke. After moments, in the early hours of August 26, 2019, the man was shot dead.

Co-operatives Riviera, Dukeon Birdsong, Solis, and Jonathan Berkeley each originally charged with increased batteries, batteries with a deadly weapon and battery, resulting in severe physical injuries.

Riviera convicted the battery resulting in a physical injury. In May 2021, he was sentenced to one year probation. Birdsong was sentenced to six years in jail in April 2021 when he convicted criminal negligence.

Berkeley’s next hearing is Friday.
