Last night we told you that twenty year old Bejon Wade was murdered on Sunday in San Pedro. According to police around 6 o'clock on Sunday morning they responded to a shooting incident behind the San Juan area on the island where they saw Wade lying on the ground - bleeding from the left temple area -with a gunshot wound to the head. But today Theresita Figueroa told us that her son is Francis Figueroa and not Bejon Wade as police reports state. Figueroa said that she doesn't know why anyone would kill Francis because he was a calm person.

"He was a good person, calm and did not mess with anybody. He respects everybody, so he is a nice person. He will be very miss, it's very hard."
Andrea Polanco
"How did the family receive this news?"
Theresita Figueroa, Mother of Deceased
"A friend come to tell us and it really shock everybody."
Andrea Polanco
"People said that he was shot and as a result he died. Do you know if he had any problems with anybody recently?"
Theresita Figueroa, Mother of Deceased
"Well not that I know of. It's so hard to see my son last month and then to bury him, it's so hard."
Yesterday Wade was transported to the San Pedro Polyclinic where he was receiving treatment but later succumbed to his injury couple hours later. During their investigations police found an expended nine millimeter shell at the scene. It was also reported that he was involved in fight with two other men, when one of them fired two shots at him. Police are still looking for two suspects in connection with this incident.
