Man Dies Weeks After City Fight
posted (August 14, 2014)
Right now, the family of Antelope Street Resident, Richard Rubio, is making preparations for his burial after he died while in a coma at the hospital.

There was no official police report when he was first injured, and investigators have only recently started looking into the case. 7News has been informed however that Rubio and another man were in a fight in the Conch Shell Bay area 2 weeks ago, on Thursday, July 31, 2014. 38 year-old Richard Oscar Rubio was clubbed in the back of his head by the other man he was fighting with. He was in the KHMH until yesterday when he succumbed. That's also when it caught the attention of the investigators.

A post-mortem has since been conducted, and it has revealed that Rubio died from the injury he suffered to the head. Investigators have reportedly picked up the man he was in the fight with, and he may be criminally charged for his death.

Today, we tried to speak with Rubio's family, but they declined.
