McAfee — whose
software company sold to Intel in 2010 for $7 billion — has been living in Belize
for a while now.
Details around the
alleged argument between McAfee and Faull are unclear, but police claim Faull
had filed a formal complaint about McAfee with the local mayor’s office
recently, claiming McAfee had been firing off guns and exhibiting “roguish
behavior.”
Gizmodo has
published a statement from the San Pedro police, which says Faull was found
lying face up “in a pool of blood.” Police have not established a
motive.
According to
Gizmodo’s report, police claim McAfee is currently “on the run from murder
charges.”
