Felipe Cogom Cortez, 28, died from multiple in-juries inflicted during a fight with roommate Juan J. Amperez, 29, authorities said.
“Deputies were called to 2900 Jerome Road at 3:30 a.m. to assist with a medical call,” Iberia Parish Sheriff’s Office Spokes-man Capt. Wendell Raborn said in a release. “When deputies arrived they found a 28-year-old male deceased at the scene and another male badly in-jured.”

Raborn said he is not at liberty to disclose the weapon used.
Raborn said Amperez and Alvardo attempted to conceal Cortez’ body, but a witness to the fight called an ambulance.
Iberia Parish Coroner Dr. James Falterman Sr. said Cortez was pronounced dead at 5:32 a.m. from multiple injuries.
An autopsy has been ordered but will not be completed until Monday or Tuesday, Falterman said.
Amperez was treated at Iberia Medical Center for injuries received during the fight and released, Raborn said.
Amperez and Alvardo have been booked into the Iberia Parish Correctional Center. Amperez has been charged with second de-gree murder. Alvardo has been charged with principal to second degree murder.
Raborn said all three men are from Guatemala. He said their status as legal or illegal is un-known.
No bond has been set.

I do it professionally myself, so I think I'm qualified to make that assessment. I read the New Orleans paper a great deal, and it is written on a lower level than the Iberian. "

How hard can it be to edit a few words??
Professionalism is EVERYTHING and the format needs to be presented as if it was actually put together BY professionals. Errors in their online publication give the DI the appearance of a badly written blog... "

Most of the hyphen's located in the story are from copying and pasting the story out of the digital edition of the newspaper and posted here online.
It is wise to make sure you know what you're talking about before you make rude remarks on the quality of the "writers offerings". "

multiple in-juries?? Injuries maybe? Spokes-man? Perhaps the word is spokesman.
Ampe-rez and Silvestre C. Al-vardo? I realize they are Hispanic names, but not ALL Hispanic names are automatically hyphenated. Amperez has been charged with second de-gree murder? Second degree I am guessing? And for the love of God, it's unknown, all one word, no un-known.
Please get a writer that doesn't think a hyphen is her best friend! Just a simple spell check would do wonders for the quality of this writers offerings. "
