Slaying of suspect in attack on nonagenarian called ‘street justice’

The designated secretary of the Department of Public Safety, Arturo Garffer, confirmed on Monday that a man who was slain in Sabana Grande was the suspect in an attack on a nonagenarian during a home robbery in that municipality.

“A 90-year-old man was attacked during a home robbery. This morning we learned that the person responsible was harassed and killed,” Garffer said in response to questions from the press. “I urge the public that we prefer to be notified anonymously, if they wish, of this type of information so that we can intervene, but street justice took care of this person.” “That is the initial information,” he added. “The case is under investigation and as soon as the outcome of this morning’s event is clarified, it will be passed on to the Investigation Division.” On Monday morning, the police reported a homicide at around 12:07 a.m., on the premises of building 10 of the Sabana Grande residential complex.

Police reported receiving a call through the 9-1-1 Emergency System. At the scene they found the body of Kenneth Camacho Horrach, 34, inside an apartment. A 90-year-old man was attacked during a home robbery that occurred early Sunday morning on highway PR-328, kilometer 2.8, in the Rayo Guaras neighborhood of Sabana Grande. Later on Monday, Lt. Aníbal Pérez of the Mayagüez police region’s Criminal Investigation Corps said authorities do not have information connecting Camacho Horrach to the case of the assault of the nonagenarian.
