The outlet identified the man as Matías Jurado, a local resident whom neighbors said allegedly threatened people with machetes, set fires, carried suspicious bags and rolled around wheelbarrows at night. Jurado insists he is innocent, per CBS.A24 reported that even though local residents referred to Jurado as 'the machete man,' they never suspected him to be a murderer.
