Motorcycle Gunmen Killed Jason Paulino
posted (September 8, 2014)
At the top of the news, we told you about the murder in San Pedro which happened on Saturday morning, but there was also another which occurred in the City on Sunday morning.

38 year-old Jason Paul Paulino was sitting in a yard on Neal Penn Road at around 10, and he was socializing with 2 men when two men drove past on motorcycle. Police say that the men immediately targeted Paulino and fired several shots at him. He suffered a gunshot wound to the head, 1 to the right side of the abdomen, and 2 to the left shoulder.

Today, police told the media that while they have no suspects, they believe that he had a prior misunderstanding, which led to his death:

Supt. Hilberto Romero, O.C., Crimes Investigation Branch
"We have several persons detained. We are recording statements, but at this time no one has been charged for that murder likewise. The information we have gathered so far is that it was a misunderstanding that he had with some persons. We do not believe that it is gang related. Some incident he had a week ago with some persons and that resulted in that shooting."

Today, we reached out to his family, but they refused to speak to us, and also refused to provide us with any picture. They did tell us that he has one son.
