And the last murder which happened this weekend was as a result of a chopping in the Southern Village of Santa Cruz. Yesterday morning at around 9:00, Independence Police found the body of Salvadoran Juan Jose Ortega in a drain.
It appears that he had been chopped in the head and neck, but apart from those details, police currently don't know much about this murder.
The Acting Commander of Eastern Division shared what information police have at this time:
