The last person involved in the April 2007 death of Luis Noriega was sentenced Friday.

Nathan Schrank, 24, pleaded guilty to involuntary manslaughter and one count of aggravated battery on Nov. 7.

He was sentenced to 180 days in DeKalb County jail, 365 days work release followed by six months of electronic home monitoring, 30 months probation and also ordered to undergo an alcohol evaluation and comply with recommendations, said Bill Engerman, DeKalb County first assistant state’s attorney.

Schrank also must pay restitution for funeral and medical expenses. That amount will be set in a hearing on Jan. 29.

“We respect the judge’s ruling, but we asked that the defendant be sent to the Illinois Department of Corrections,” Engerman said.

As reported in a Nov. 11 Northern Star article, on April 14, 2007, Luis Noriega was beaten to death after leaving Reilly’s Bar and Eatery, 1215 Blackhawk Road. Noriega was out with his girlfriend and two friends when Emily Hobbs complained that he cut in front of her while in line for the bar. Witnesses told police that Hobbs said threateningly that Noriega would meet her boyfriend later.

Noriega and his friends were confronted by Schrank, Christopher Tadder, Fred J. Jakob and Hobbs as they left the bar, and were attacked by them, according to witnesses. Witnesses also reported Schrank hit Noriega in the face, causing him to hit his head on the concrete during the confrontation. Noriega later died of head injuries.

Tadder, Jakob and Hobbs have already been sentenced.

Hobbs, who pleaded guilty to aggravated battery, was sentenced Dec. 23.

According to the office of DeKalb State’s Attorney Ron Matekaitis, Hobbs was sentenced to 30 months probation, 90 days in the county jail and 100 hours of community service. She must also undergo anger management and alcohol treatment and pay a fine of $1,950.

Tadder was sentenced April 17 for 88 days in DeKalb County Jail, 30 months probation and 100 hours of community service and anger management counseling. Jakob was sentenced June 16 for 90 days in DeKalb County Jail, 30 months probation and 100 hours of community service and anger management counseling. Both men pleaded guilty to four counts of aggravated battery.
