"Do you know if he got shot too or he only got chopped with a machete?"
Consuelo Keme, wife of victim
"He told me that he got chopped and shot with the gun."
Reporter
"He didn't say why?"

"Because some boys from Buena Vista accused him for stealing a bike. They chased in in the bushes. He told me that he didn't steal anything. He works hard to food to the house."
