Alerts reached Emergency Services 112 Andalucía at around 17:30. Several witnesses reported hearing gunshots in the area of the Andalucía Beach development, on the beachfront of Estepona's New Golden Mile. According to their accounts to 112, the victim collapsed on the ground after being shot.

That incident, which occurred around 04:30 in the early morning, left four men injured: three aged 21 and one aged 33, at least one of them by firearm. All were transferred to a hospital. The National Police continue carrying out inquiries to clarify what happened and do not rule out further arrests.
