Today, 7News went to San Ignacio town to find out about caused the young man to be brutally killed in the street. We spoke with police.

Insp. Reymundo Reyes
"What we have is this morning sometime after 1:55 am San Ignacio receive information of a male person lying in the middle of the street on Joseph Andrews Drive in front of the Red Cross building. As a result they proceeded to the area and on arrival they saw this male person lying on his left side of his body with what appears to be multiple stab wounds on the knee area and a slit on the throat."

"Immediately learnt that the person's name is one Jorge Tzib, 29 years old. At this present moment the investigation is young - it's still on-going but we cannot determine the motive of the murder so far. Police were on patrol in that area. They had detained somebody for traffic offence maybe 10-15 minutes before the call came in about this incident."

"We have the person of the motorcycle who was brought in for traffic offences for questioning and we already got the person the person who he left right at the same junction where we actually found the body of Mr. Tzib."

"We know that earlier in the night there was a incident somewhere by Blue Angels Club where police responded to that area. The same young man Mr. Tzib was present and apparently he witnessed what happened and mentioned to the police that he saw who caused the commotion, but he left from the area, so it was surprising when the call came that there was somebody dead."

Maria Martinez, Aunt of Deceased
"Everyone is taking it hard because he is a human being and the way that he dies is very sad. Knowing that there are people who don't think for others. They shouldn't have kill him like that. It's hard because we are the only family here. His father and mother is not here."

Police say that there is the possibility that a business place in the area may have caught the entire attack on camera. They are waiting on the owners to provide them with that footage.
