Santa Elena Resident Found Dead in San Ignacio

It’s been less than a month since Santa Elena welcomed a new police substation.   Tonight, however, police are investigating the death of one of a resident whose body was found in the wee small hours of the morning. He is twenty-one-year-old Korrie Cruz, who was discovered at the corner of 15th and Vaca streets in San Ignacio Town around two-thirty a.m. Upon arrival, police discovered Cruz’s lifeless body in an open lot. They were alerted to the body by a passerby who made the discovery. Cruz was taken to the San Ignacio Hospital where he was pronounced dead on arrival. It is not known whether the death is gang related or otherwise. We await further police updates.
