SAN ANGELO, TX — A second member of a biker gang has been sentenced to prison following the deadly October 2, 2022, brawl at the Whiskey River Saloon, 125 E. Concho Ave., that resulted in the death of U.S. Marine Bryce Rudisell. Rudisell was fatally stabbed through the heart by Ray Vera, a fellow member of the Bandito-affiliated motorcycle gang.

Julian Suarez, also a member of the gang, pleaded guilty last week to two counts of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon and requested a jury determine his punishment. On Tuesday night, the jury sentenced Suarez to serve time in prison.

While Suarez was not directly involved in Rudisell’s murder, he attacked another Marine during the altercation. According to police, Suarez struck the Marine from behind with a glass beer mug as the victim was leaving the Whiskey River. After the initial blow, Suarez used the broken glass to slice the Marine’s finger and stab his arm.
