Santo Domingo
Among the ballistic evidence found at the scene where an employee of a food store was murdered were remains of rifle and handgun projectiles.
This was stated by Juan Silva, deputy chief of the Santo Domingo police, in an interview he gave on Wednesday night, March 16, to several journalists.
A few minutes had passed when Pablo Rojas was murdered in the Chorrera sector, in the canton of Santo Domingo, in a food products store called R&L, who according to police records has three criminal records, including robbery, association illicit and possession of controlled substances.
The crime occurred around 7:00 p.m. on Wednesday, March 16. Neighbors of the premises indicated that the only thing they heard were several detonations. Along with Rojas in the commercial premises was another person, who emerged unharmed from the hitman-style attack.
Two murders in less than 12 hours in Santo Domingo
The police believe that the cause of the crime would be linked to a settling of scores. Silva indicated that it is a selective death and that the crime is under investigation.
This murder is the 15th so far in 2022, and the fourth in less than a week.
“From what they have been able to tell us is that the citizen works inside the store and carried out commercial activities and in the same way they have told us that the citizen did not have any threat or anything like that,” Silva said.
Regarding the latest violent deaths in Santo Domingo de los Tsáchilas, the police chief indicated that these events would not be related, but that the reasons for these crimes that alter the normality of the inhabitants of this province are being investigated. (I)
