Suspect arrest for Jorge Steven López’s murder


Some movement in the Jorge murder case:
Puerto Rican police arrested a suspect earlier today in connection with a gay man’s gruesome murder. Primera Hora reported authorities took a 28-year-old man into custody in connection with Jorge Steven López’s murder.

Pedro Julio Serrano of the National Gay & Lesbian Task Force identified the suspect to EDGE as Juan Jose Martinez Torres. López was found decapitated, dismembered and partially burned in a wooded area near Cayey on Nov. 13.


Serrano welcomed the arrest.


"Even when everyone is innocent until proven guilty, it is hopeful that they have arrested a suspect," he told EDGE in a statement. "We’re grateful for the Police work that has acted promptly and we trust that the investigation digs into the hate crime angle and if it is proven that it was indeed bias-related, that the criminal is processed to the full extent of the law."

Hopefully, this will be over soon.
