Cowo Killer Charged
posted (January 19, 2018)
San Pedro Police have arrested a man for the execution style murder of Alfredo Cowo. It happened early on Tuesday morning in the center of the town - when a lone gunman walked up and shot Cowo in the chest.

Well, based on an ID parade, and, reportedly, corroboration from his accomplice, police have arrested and charged 33 year old San Pedrano William Godoy for Murder.

He was charged this evening, and is expected to be arraigned on Monday.

Police believe the murder is the result of underworld dealings related to drugs. As we reported, the 26 year old Cowo had a 7 and half page rap sheet including 43 charges and 9 convictions.

Many still point to police involvement since he was leading a criminal prosecution for wounding against a pair of officers - who got off the week before his murder. Cowo said he had been threatened by police. His rap sheet included at least 6 charges for assaulting a police officer dating back to 2011.
