According to reporter Fernando Santiago of NVI Noticias, "authorities have launched a homicide investigation. Initial investigations point to possible conflicts related to robbery and drug possession."

According to the reporter, [they were] identified by authorities because [they] had a history of being arrested for crimes such as theft or drug possession, and was then released because no one filed a complaint against [them].
