And tonight, there is another murder to report from San Pedro - the second in four days, and the third this month.
While the others are suspected to have been drug related - this one seems to be a family rivalry.
Around 2:00 this afternoon, 35 year old Jose Ricardo Mendoza got into an argument with his 57 year old father in law Gaspar Vargas at his home in San Mateo. Police say the men were socializing in the yard - which suggests that alcohol was involved - when they got into an argument about what is being called "an old misunderstanding"
When things got heated Mendoza stabbed his father in law in the abdomen. His family rushed him to the polyclinic but he died while receiving emergency care.
Mendoza is a chef and police did not manage to detain him until after 5:00 this evening.
