Cops Tie 1 More Man to Gang Fight and Shooting at Joliet Bar

Another alleged gangster was charged in connection with the wild Sunday night gang fight at a Joliet bar that left one man grievously wounded and at death’s door.

Eight men have already been arrested for their alleged part in the gang fight at Los Diaz bar on Meeker Avenue.

Now in addition to two more men facing charges but on the lam—Antonio Luna, 32, and Nicolas Pisano, 25, both of Aurora—the police say they are after a third, Alejandro Lara-Leyva, 19, also of Aurora.

The police tabbed Luna and Pisano as the two triggerman who—during the brawl—allegedly put bullets in the head, chest, shoulder and belly of 29-year-old Osmar Ruiz. The police had previously said Ruiz is 19 but court and jail records list him as 29.

The arrested and wanted men belong to a gang, police said, and they went to Los Diaz Sunday night to take on four members of a rival gang. Three of the four allegedly targeted in the gang attack have been identified as Ruiz, Papa Lopez and Inti Valenzuela.

Ruiz, who reportedly lived in Bolingbrook as recently as 2014, was taken to Silver Cross Hospital in New Lenox Sunday night with “very life-threatening” wounds, police said. He was still fighting for his life on Tuesday.
