Johana Samantha Mendez Barrios

Police continue to search for a person of interest in the murder of Honduran national Johana Samantha Mendez Barrios. The waitress of Compadres Bar in San Pedro was cut to the throat inside her apartment on Tuesday morning at the Basil Paris Apartment Complex. Mendez Barrios sought assistance from her friend on the lower flat of the complex, but died as she received treatment at the San Pedro Polyclinic. Surveillance cameras from a nearby shop show that just before one a.m. that day, a man arrived in a taxi and left hours later; minutes later, Mendez Barrios would be found hemorrhaging on the scene. Still yet, that person has not been located.
