A young mother named Mercedes Tavares was one of three people killed outside a Portage Park neighborhood bar this past weekend.
Cellphone Video from inside Vera Lounge Saturday night shows Tavares dressed in black - dancing with Mariah Vera, her friend, who was out celebrating her birthday.
Ricky Vera, 50, whose brother owns the bar, was shot in the head and chest and was pronounced dead on the scene. Mariah, 25, his daughter, was taken to Advocate Illinois Masonic Medical Center with a gunshot wound to the head, and was listed in critical condition. Prosecutors say Parsons-Salas admitted to shooting everyone who called out his name during the quarrel outside the bar, but apologized to investigators for shooting Tavares.
Golota says her sister arrived at the Vera Lounge with a friend, along with that friend's new boyfriend — Parsons-Salas, the same man who is accused of killing Taveras later in the night."Together. They knew each other."Police say Parsons-Salas forced his girlfriend to drive away at gunpoint, and he is also now charged with her kidnapping.
