Alvaro Tun Freed of Murder Charge in San Pedro  

Alvaro Tun, a thirty-four-year-old from San Pedro, was found not guilty of murdering Elder Arana on March fifth, 2023, at Jeemar’s Night Club in the San Pedrito area. Arana was stabbed six times after a fight broke out in the bar sometime before two a.m. The bar owner had closed early, and when the security guard tried to clear the patrons, a brawl erupted over a woman, leading to Arana’s death. Police found a box cutter belonging to the security guard, but he wasn’t charged with murder. Instead, Tun was arrested based on a witness account from Diego Santos. However, Judge Derick Sylvester dismissed Santos’ testimony, ruling it was not credible and likely fabricated. The judge noted contradictions in Santos’ statements and evidence that contradicted his account, leading to Tun’s acquittal.
