The men had another argument, trading insults for about a half hour, until around 9 p.m.

Suddenly, Pedrera pulled a knife from his waist and tried to attack Barillo but was pacified by neighbors.

To avoid further confrontation, Barillo tried to run away.

But Pedrera and his teen companion chased him. They caught up with Barillo a few meters away from the house.

Pedrera stabbed his rival once in the chest before fleeing with his companion.
