Corpse with bullet impact found on public road in Maipú
A man of Venezuelan nationality, approximately 30 years old, was found dead on Avenida del Ferrocarril, in the municipality of Maipú, Metropolitan Region, according to biobiochile.cl. The body was discovered around 5:00 in the morning on Wednesday, just before the entrance to the lateral lane of the Américo Vespucio motorway.
Carabineros, municipal security personnel and representatives of the Public Prosecutor's Office attended the scene following the discovery.
Prosecutor Felipe Chandía Grunert, from the Western Public Prosecutor's Office, confirmed that the victim had "a ballistic impact in the thoracic area with an exit wound", an injury that would have caused his death. Chandía Grunert clarified that the deceased "would not have a residence in the area".
The absence of ballistic evidence at the site is the main indication the prosecution is working with. "No ballistic evidence has been found at the scene of the incident. From what we understand so far, the body of this person would have been left here," the prosecutor said.
According to statements gathered by investigators, those close to the victim last heard from him around 22:00 on Tuesday. Chandía Grunert indicated that up to that point no complaints of suspected foul play had been filed with his office.
Investigative procedures are being carried out to clarify the circumstances of the crime.
