We've already told you about the weekend murders and shootings - but our next story is about a stabbing death.
A shopkeeper is claiming self defense after an exchange with a customer led to a violent stabbing incident. Jomarie Lanza visited the Rivero Street area today where it happened and here's what she saw.
The blood had already dried up on the shop counter, with a few splatters still visible in the dirt and pavement just off Rivero Street. It marks a brutal encounter between an alleged drunk and the shop keeper who resulted to stabbing a customer after he allegedly attacked him. ACP Romero explained what had happened on Sunday night here in the city.
