Yesterday, in the late afternoon, in the streets of Verona, a horrific fight occured, leaving two men dead at the scene, which is said to be Mercrutio, a friend of Romeo Montague, and Tybalt, Price Capulet's relative after Tybalt wanted revenge on Romeo because of his love for Juliet Capulet. Mercrutio and Tybalt then got in a heated discussion and Romeo decided to step in the middle, where Tybalt the tried to cut Mercrutio with his knife. Tybalt apparently succeeded at stabbing Mercrutio, leaving him in bad conditions, later dying. Out of anger and rage, Romeo then wanted to get back at this Capulet that had killed his friend, and killed Tybalt by stabbing him with his sword. We questioned a teen boy named Benvolio, for he was there at the scene of the fight. He claims that Tybalt started the fight because of the forbidden love between the Capulet and the Montague, which is believable, but we don't know if he tells the truth. Romeo is now missing, says the head of police. But, he is wanted, and when he is found, he will be banished, as the Prince has ordered. Montagues and Capulets never got along in the past, and this is a horrible outcome of one of the common fights. We have no clue where Romeo might be, but the Police will contact his family, as well as Juliet's family to see if they know where he might be.
