Two More Murders; April Was A Deadly Month
posted (April 30, 2012)
And two men were killed this weekend in the environs of the Capital City. IT appears to have all started with a fight at the National Agricultural Showgrounds.

At 2:00 am on Sunday, police found 22 year old Javier Larios with a stab wound to the center of his chest at the showgrounds. He was rushed to the hospital where he died shortly after.

Not far from him, they found 23 year old Moses Orellano dead under a cargo truck - and he had also been stabbed to the chest.

Police believe a third man was involved in the fight and escaped.

Those three murders bring the total so far for 2012 to 42 - which is one more than last year at this time. But it also makes April 2012 one of the deadliest months in memory with 21 murders reported countrywide - as many a the three previous months combined.
