Local Teen Dies After Being Victim Of Robbery

On the night of Thursday, Aug. 10, 2017, a young man lost his life during an interference at a Kennedy Fried Chicken restaurant. Ivan Murillo, 18, was said to have been on his way home from the local YMCA in Perth Amboy, NJ, when a meeting with the wrong people at the wrong time cost him his life. Eye-witnesses said the young man was just minding his own business until the robber ran straight into him upon trying to escape the eatery with the stolen funds. The owner of the establishment called out to Murillo asking him to subdue the criminal, to which he tried to oblige and managed to knock the criminal down and buy the owner enough time but unfortunately was stabbed in the process. Murillo was held at Raritan Bay Medical Center overnight to treat his wounds but unfortunately could not make it due to several organs being punctured.
