Last week we told you about 16-year-old Dane Matute, a teenager who was murdered in Roaring Creek while swimming with his 14-year-old cousin, who was also injured in that shooting.
And tonight there is an update on that case from ASP Fitzroy Yearwood who says that the police are looking for suspects and simultaneously conducting mediations between rival groups in the Roaring Creek area. Here's more:
ASP Fitzroy Yearwood, Communications Officer
"As far as that investigation goes we have suspects that we have suspects that we are looking for. I just recently got information that OC Roaring Creek as well as Doctor Rosado will be meeting - along with members of the L.I.U. - will be meeting with two rivalling groups in Roaring Creek and I think that is as early as Wednesday of this week. After that meeting, I will be able to update you further."

"Does that indicate that Dane Matute's murder was indeed gang related?"
ASP Fitzroy Yearwood
"Well I said two rivalling groups; for me to categorize it as a gang, I cannot do that as yes. We will know what will be the results after the L.I.U. mediation and then I could probably answer your question. We did multiple house searches after the murder occurred and unfortunately for one person, when we searched his premises, a thirty-eight revolver was discovered. That gun has been labelled as an exhibit and it has been sent to the lab for further testing."
14-year-old Kalen Wade remains at home recovering from the gunshot wound he sustained to his leg.
