HMG-CN spoke to an assistant of Bayona on Wednesday night and she confirmed that the press conference would be held but would not elaborate on what would be discussed.
Crespo was shot at approximately 2:30 p.m. on Tuesday inside of his family’s residence located at the 6300 block of Gage Avenue.
Crespo died after his wife, Levette, shot him several time inside the Vinas La Campana complex.
HMG-CN has been told that Crespo and his wife were inside their master bedroom, then an argument ensued, and his son, 19-year old son Daniel Jr., jumped in between his parents.
No arrests have been made in the case.
