Neighbours in the area heard two bursts of gunfire and, upon leaving their homes, found the victim inside the vehicle with no signs of life. The authorities were alerted immediately.
Police officers and representatives from the Public Prosecutor's Office were deployed to the scene to cordon off the area and begin initial investigative proceedings. Forensic experts collected evidence that will allow them to reconstruct the sequence of the attack and identify those responsible.
The departmental police commander, David Gómez, confirmed to the media that the victim had been identified and is a Bolivian national. Gómez declined to provide further details so as not to compromise the course of the investigations.
To date, the authorities have not determined which vehicle the attackers used to flee after opening fire. The area remains under police surveillance whilst investigations continue. An official report with further details on the incident is expected.
