The young robber with previous convictions was set upon by neighbours when he tried to rob someone of their phone. He was kicked in the head repeatedly by a group of local people, before the police intervened and took him to hospital in San Juan, where he died later through brain irreversible death.
This type of lynching is not uncommon here as most you may know and whilst I may not condone it myself, it's a reflection of how angry people are at the scum who roam the streets robbing and murdering with apparent immunity. Or, at the very least serve a nominal term in jail (if at all) and then be released to re-offend.
