Mario Vernon’s Family Not Letting Up Pressure
Mon, February 19, 2018
The family of slain Punta Gorda resident Mario Vernon is keeping up the pressure on authorities. Today his aunt told PGTV that they have written many letters to various government leaders demanding that a proper investigation be done and that police behave honorably. Here's more:...

Vincent Nunez, Mario Vernon's Aunt
"I've sent letters, registered letters, I've sent an email and there has been no response. We sent a letter to Minister Elrington, one to the Prime Minister, and one to Mr. Aragon. We also wrote a letter to Clement Cacho, the OC here in PG because this thing happened under his nose and he should have some answers. I just think this is all a part of a cover up and this needs to stop. What has happened is that the PG police are intimidating and harassing witnesses. I think the dragging of the feet of the Justice Department goes right along with that. I think they are trying to paste this thing out to see if we're going to give up but we will not give up. Mario's life was a life, yes he was not perfect but he was a human being and all human beings have a right for life."

The head of the Professional Standards branch, ACP Chester Williams told us he is scheduled to make a visit to PG this week.
