Juan Compa Martinez, 61, was president of the El Paso chapter of the Bandidos Motorcycle Club when he was shot seven times and killed during a bar fight at Mulligan’s Chopped Hog in East El Paso on July 30, 2017. The shooting occurred amid an ongoing rivalry between the Bandidos and the Kinfolk Motorcycle Club and was captured on the bar’s security cameras, which showed a chaotic altercation involving multiple people.

A reputed Kinfolk member, Javier Gonzalez, was arrested and charged with Martinez’s murder. Gonzalez said he acted in self-defense, while prosecutors argued the shooting was a planned attack targeting the rival gang. In January 2019 a jury found Gonzalez guilty of murder and related organized-crime and aggravated-assault charges; he was sentenced to 56 years in prison. Martinez’s family delivered victim impact statements describing the loss.

Does anyone have photos, video locations, or eyewitness details from Mulligan’s Chopped Hog that could shed more light on the scene?
