Alleged Triggerman 'Starface' Luna Tells Judge He Doesn't Have $50K To 'Walk' Out Of Jail--But He Can Do $25K

The star-faced Aurora man charged with pumping bullets into a rival gangster during a wild brawl in a Joliet bar said he can come up with $25,000 to bail himself out of jail.

Unfortunately he needs twice that much.

“I will not be able in any way to get $50,000 to walk,” Antonio “Starface” Luna told Will County Judge Theodore Jarz. “I’m asking the court to lower it to $25,000 to walk.”

Luna—in custody at the county jail on charges of attempted murder, aggravated battery with a firearm, aggravated battery without a firearm and mob action—did not have an attorney with him for his bond hearing Thursday afternoon. He refused to apply for a public defender and said he planned on hiring a lawyer. Judge Jarz told Luna, 32, that his attorney could request a lower bond during his next court appearance.

Luna was arrested after he and 12 of his gangster associates headed over to Los Diaz bar on Meeker Avenue Sunday night to take on four members of a rival gang, police said. During the ensuing fight, Luna and another man—Nicholas Pisano, 25, of Aurora—allegedly gunned down Osmar Ruiz, 29. Ruiz was shot in the head, chest, shoulder and belly.

Pisano remains at large but the police have rounded up 10 other men allegedly involved in the barroom brawl, most recently arresting both Luna and Alejandro Lara-Leyva, 19 and also of Aurora, on Wednesday.

Ruiz, who was living in Bolingbrook when he was last arrested in 2014, suffered “very life-threatening” wounds in the gun attack but remains alive four days later.

If found guilty, Luna faces up to 85 years in prison. When Judge Jarz asked if he understood the possible sentence he was looking at, Luna told him, “I don’t.”
