La Nación reported on September 2, 2025, two separate developments involving criminal activity and judicial decisions in Costa Rica. The news outlet published updates regarding the killing of a known figure in La Carpio and a court ruling affecting an attorney involved in a same-sex marriage ceremony.
In one post dated September 2, 2025, La Nación stated: “Alias Picudo fue asesinado por disputas con otro grupo criminal de La Carpio, confirma OIJ https://t.co/zoWiKldznG”. According to the tweet, the Judicial Investigation Organism (OIJ) confirmed that “Alias Picudo” was killed due to conflicts with another criminal group operating in La Carpio.
In a separate update posted at 01:08:12 UTC on the same day, La Nación reported: “Juzgado reduce sanción a abogado que casó a dos mujeres en el 2015 https://t.co/0R4Dy8wffw”. A similar message was shared again at 01:30:33 UTC: “Juzgado reduce sanción a abogado que casó a dos mujeres en el 2015 https://t.co/CSAs1cubJK”.
The incident involving “Alias Picudo” reflects ongoing violence between rival groups in La Carpio, an area frequently affected by organized crime. Meanwhile, the reduction of sanctions for the lawyer relates to legal actions taken after he officiated a marriage between two women in 2015—a case that has drawn attention as Costa Rica’s legal system adapts to evolving norms around same-sex unions.
