asked for his nephew", and "when he responded that he would go look
for him, the assailant shot him in the back three times".
The presumed assassin fled on a bicycle. Valdes continued by saying
that the UD is investigating both crimes to discover if they were
common violence or rather of a political nature due to the crisis in
Honduras, which began after president Manuel Zelaya was deposed by
soldiers this past june 28.
With regard to Ramon Garcia, Valdes said he had participated in
demonstrations in the western part of the city demanding the return
