SAN FRANCISCO DE MACORÍS. - A violent incident that occurred on Sunday night in an entertainment center in this city culminated in the death of Mikel Fernández, a 27-year-old, after receiving a fatal stab wound to the chest during an altercation. The death of Fernández, a resident of Santo Domingo who was visiting to spend the December holidays, has generated consternation in the community, as the conflict originated over a debt.
