Police Talking to Witnesses On Cayo Killing
posted (May 12, 2016)
Police are questioning 2 eyewitnesses in connection with Tuesday night's Cayo murder. As we told you, 59 year old businessman Jose Anibal Molina Estrada was shot and killed at a Spanish Lookout Bar. Estrada went to the bar after work to have a few drinks. But his business rival, Eddy Larios and his friends Guillermo Guerra and Duck Run Chairman Victor Perez, showed up at the bar. There was a confrontation between the men which led to a wild gun fight. Estrada pulled out his licensed 9 millimeter pistol and shot at the 3 men. Larios then pulled out his licensed "nine" and fired back at Estrada - killing him. 17 expended shells were found at the scene, and police have recovered Glock and Ruger Pistols - the clip in the Glock was empty.

The family told us that Estrada and Larios were long time business rivals and that might have prompted the deadly shootout, while police say that alcohol was one factor.

But the 2 eyewitnesses should help clear up those details in this case. Police also told us that Perez has been treated and released but Larios had to be transferred to Medical Associates today for further treatment. We will keep following this case.
