No Way San Jose

A 36-year-old North American man was killed Thursday in front of the Caribeños bus station in downtown San José.  The incident unfortunately serves to reinforce the Costa Rican capital's reputation as one of the most crime-ridden of the Central American region. 

A close friend of the victim  told The Tico Times that the victim's full name is Victor Manuel Grisales.  Authorities initially responded to reports of a wounded man in the street near the bus station, which services the Caribbean coast of Costa Rica, in the Tournon neighborhood of San José. They found a 36-year-old-man identified as having the last name Grisal. He had suffered gunshot wounds in various parts of his body.
