"Anything as to a motive?"

ASP Alejandro Cowo, OC - CIB
"We suspect it is drug related."

Reporter
"From what we understand he spent close to 10 years in jail on drug charges/ The family is saying that they don't believe that his past has anything to do with what happened - but they are saying that he may have had a tattoo machine that belonged to someone else. Are you able to shed any light on that angle?"

ASP Alejandro Cowo
"Based on the information that we are getting and the investigation is pointing out that this was some kind of drug related incident that happened there."

Casimiro's friend says he had been released from prison about 6 years ago but she doesn't believe his murder had to do with that previous incident.
