Murderous Devils At Blue Angels
posted (November 2, 2015)

A man was stabbed to death in Cayo in front of Blue Angels Night Club this weekend. 20 year old Eteer Munoz Espino went to the club along with his friend Franklin Garcia on Saturday night. But just when all the Halloween fun was ending around 4:00 on Sunday morning, a fight broke out during which Espino was fatally stabbed. San Ignacio police told us more today.

It's on these dusty green cement steps that 20-year-old Eteer Munoz Espino took his last breath.

This was the furthest he could go after he was stabbed 4 times right in front of Blue Angels Night Club in San Ignacio.

Reports are that Espino left his home in Buena Vista Village on Saturday morning. His stepfather told us he saw him riding around on his motorcycle throughout the day

But later on Espino met up with his friend Franklin Garcia and they both went to Blue Angels – that's where the trouble started.

"There was a fight in front of the establishment. When police responded to the area they did saw people scattering around. Checks were made later on in the area and in front of Bismillah Furniture store by Savannah area, that is where the lifeless body of a Hispanic male person was seen with what appeared to be stab wounds to the chest area. Actually it was three, two on the upper part of his chest and one below his nipple and one on the left shoulder."

"Initial investigation at the moment is that; either Espino was involved in an altercation with an individual from Santa Elena and they end up getting involved in a fist right. During this process other people intervened and attacked both Espino and Garcia causing injured to both of them but Espino was the one who was apparently fatally stabbed during that fight."

Alcohol definitely fuelled the brawl outside but police are also investigating an earlier altercation between Espino and another man inside the club.

"We have interviewed the friend, Franklin Garcia who was along with him. It appears that from the evening, sometime after 4-6 the evening they were already there in San Ignacio on Saturday; and the visited various liquor establishments where they were socializing. They end up visiting Blue Angels night club at that night. They went upstairs; they stayed for a period of time. Came down again, went to a restaurant, eat and went back again. It appears according to information is that he was involved in a slight altercation whilst he was upstairs in Blue Angels; but we still cannot establish with whom or who is the person who he had an altercation. And if that person was the same person who maybe when he saw the opportunity that Espino and the other young man were involved in this fist fight; maybe he was one of the persons who intervened or who jumped in and then inflicting the stab wounds on Espino."

Espino's friend Franklin Garcia was badly beaten but he survived. Police have 4 men detained. Inspector Reyes told us that they are also reviewing the footage from security cameras set up at the nearby supermarket.
