One of the affected individuals received a bullet wound to one of his legs and died in the hospital despite receiving medical attention. The second Venezuelan citizen was also wounded by a gunshot to a leg and remains in reserved condition, according to Emol.
ECOH prosecutor Jonathan Coloma clarified that "a report was received of a possible shooting in the Sierra Bella sector in Santiago, contact was made with officials and in parallel it became known that there was one deceased, one person wounded by gunshot to one of his legs".
To date, the ECOH Public Prosecutor's Office is working with detectives from the PDI Homicide Brigade to establish the dynamics of the attack and identify those responsible. No arrest of possible individuals involved has been reported.
