Remember the May 2016 Wild Wild West bar room shootout in Spanish Lookout? Two business rivals squared off against each other, guns blazing; one was killed, the other seriously injured, and police recovered almost two dozen expended shells from the scene.
59 year old Businessman Jose Molina Estrada was the victim - but he also fired the first shot. So, now, his rival, Eddy Larios, the man who shot and killed Estrada, will not face charges because the DPP has ruled it a case of self-defence.
On May 10th 2016. Estrada was having a few beers at La Pasadita Bar when Eddy Larios and 2 friends, Guillermo Guerra and Victor Perez walked in. There was hard talk among the men and Estrada pulled out his gun and shot towards the men - injuring all 3. Larios - who was already injured - then drew his gun from his position on the ground - and fired back - killing Estrada.
The DPP determined that since he was fired upon first, it was a legitimate case of self-defence.
