BOSTON — A second employee from the Boston bar where a bouncer is accused of stabbing and killing a former Marine has been indicted, Suffolk District Attorney Kevin Hayden said Wednesday. Alisha Dumeer, 34, of Everett, is a part-owner and bartender at the bar and is expected to be arraigned with accessory after the fact to murder in connection with the stabbing death of 23-year-old Daniel Martinez. Hayden said further details of the charges will be released at arraignment. "It is a rush to judgment by the district attorney's office," Dumeer's attorney Frank DiMento Jr. said. "We had asked for an opportunity to meet with the district attorney's office to explain what really happened, but unfortunately they declined." The bouncer in question, Alvaro Larrama, 38, of East Boston, is in court Wednesday for a probable cause hearing. He is also being arraigned on new charges stemming from an assault on a different Sons of Boston patron that happened weeks before Martinez's death. Larrama is expected to face arraignment in Suffolk Superior Court on June 30 on indictments in Martinez's murder, Hayden said. "This is a case that not only involves the fatal stabbing of Mr. Martinez but also the actions of people, including these two defendants, immediately after that stabbing," Hayden said. "Our investigation is continuing and if additional charges are warranted, they will be pursued." A police report from the March 6 incident shows that a man and his friend were asked to leave the neighboring bar White Bull Tavern and were assaulted by multiple bouncers. On Saturday, March 19, police responded to the Union Street bar just after 7 p.m. after receiving reports of a stabbing. Upon arrival, police found Martinez suffering from a single stab wound to the chest. Emergency crews brought him to the hospital where he later died. According to prosecutors, surveillance footage shows Larrama denying Martinez and a friend entrance to the pub, then following them down the block towards Paddy O's. In the video, prosecutors say Martinez hit Larrama in the head with an aluminum beer bottle, then Larrama struck Martinez in the chest. Police say Larrama then returned to Sons of Boston, where he washed his hands, threw away his sweatshirt, turned his shirt inside out, and left out a back entrance of the bar. Boston police issued a warrant for Larrama's arrest after a few of his colleagues identified him as the person who stabbed Martinez, but he turned himself in two days later, police say. Dumeer and Larrama will be arraigned in Suffolk Superior Court on June 30.
