Arnold Peralta, a former football player for the Rangers, was shot eighteen times before he died due to personal issues, Honduran police reported today.
The investigation into the midfielder’s violent death at a La Ceiba, Honduras, shopping center last Friday took a new turn when police ruled out the possibility that the attack was carried out by organized crime.
“Every case is different,” stated Hector Ivan Mejia, the chief of police.The La Ceiba case originated from a unique, private circumstance.
According to the nation’s Security Minister, detectives had completed “eighty percent” of their work and would “solve the horrifying crime within a few days.”
Local media jumped on the comments as evidence for the rumors that have been going around Honduras for the past few days that Peralta’s murder was a retaliation killing.
There has been much conjecture that it has something to do with a secret he was keeping from his family.
The Honduran National Police Director, Mr. Mejia, declined to provide any additional information, leaving speculation as to whether the married father-of-one’s shooting was an act of passion or the outcome of another type of conflict.
He insisted, however, that this crime has nothing to do with organized crime and rejected the idea that it was connected to it.
