Son Accused of Causing Father’s Death

A family dispute in San Pedro Town ended in tragedy just one day before Father’s Day. The incident occurred on Saturday when Daniel “Dano” Salazar allegedly caused the death of his father, Rubio Salazar, during an argument reportedly involving their dogs.

Reports are that Daniel’s pitbull attacked Rubio’s dogs, which led to a fatal confrontation between the two.

Rubio allegedly struck his son with a wooden board, which caused Daniel to reportedly retaliate with a machete.

Daniel’s reaction inflicted fatal injuries to his father’s neck.

A family friend said about Daniel, “What a bad decision, it’s so sad. Dano is not a person that gives trouble.”

Rubio was pronounced dead, and his body has been transported to Belize City for a post-mortem examination.

Police have detained Daniel as investigations continue.
