“A source with knowledge of the investigation told NoticiasSIN that the alleged killer was in Jeffrey McMahon’s car when they arrived at the complex before he fled in it.”

Sad news. I feel it always pays to be wary when making assignations in areas of great economic inequality.

I really don’t understand the risk/reward calculation by the perpetrators.  This has to be drug-related, meaning the boy was a drug addict & under the influence.  Otherwise, it just doesn’t make sense.

Do you understand the risk/reward calculation made by the victim here?

I have no way of knowing how the perpetrator presented himself to the victim  - so, I can’t render a risk/reward opinion there. It may have appeared no different than when you or I hire someone.

From the perps POV, a senseless killing would never make sense - albeit a drug or psychotic induced event.  He will get caught, go to prison, life ruined.

You are making assumptions from your perspective. There are countless circumstances that would make sense of this killing, without involving any substances. We just do not know what happened between these two.

And the perp will have plenty of time to explain himself once arrested.

There is no picture of the murderer in the report, so I am not going to make any guesses about the situation.

And a picture of the murderer would allow to guess? Based on the color of his eyes?
