SAN ANTONIO, Texas – A man convicted in a deadly 2021 shooting at an after-hours bar has been sentenced to life in prison.

The shooting happened in August 2021 at an illegally operated after-hours bar known as the “Boom Boom Room.” Authorities said the violence began as a fight between two women with a prior history, which escalated as multiple people became involved and moved outside the establishment.
Prosecutors said Barragan and another man, Eduardo Delarosa, retrieved firearms from their vehicles during the fight. Video evidence showed Barragan firing an assault-style weapon into a crowd of people leaving the bar, killing three and injuring two others. Delarosa fired his weapon into the air.
Barragan fled the scene but was arrested days later during a traffic stop.
Delarosa later accepted a plea agreement and was sentenced to 15 years in prison for aggravated assault with a deadly weapon.
