Jose Armando Marroquin

A pair of brothers is awaiting arraignment in San Pedro after being charged for one of two recent homicides on the island. Jose Armando Marroquin and Sarbelo Marroquin have been charged for the brazen murder of Scott Charles on the night of August sixteenth. Twenty-four-year-old Charles was inside his house in the Bay Side area of the island when someone came knocking at his door; his common-law-wife and their baby had just left the house.

An unsuspecting Charles walked into a barrage of bullets and police believe that the Marroquin brothers carried out the hit. A gravely injured Charles was rushed to the San Pedro Polyclinic and then airlifted to the K.H.M.H., but died the following day.
