In that same attack, a man and a woman also received gunshots and were transported to a hospital in the area, where they were in stable condition according to preliminary information provided by the Police. The authorities have not established the identity of the fatal victim nor have they disclosed details about the circumstances surrounding the attack.
The second case was reported in Yabucoa, where the body of a woman was found on the pavement at kilometre 9.9 of Highway 908, in the barrio Jagüeyes, around 4:00 in the early morning. A call alerted officers to the presence of a dead person at the location; upon arrival, they confirmed that the corpse presented multiple gunshot wounds.
Preliminary information also does not establish the identity of this victim or the circumstances in which the crime occurred. Personnel from the Homicide Division of the Criminal Investigation Corps (CIC) of Humacao, along with the duty prosecutor and officials from the Forensic Sciences Institute, took over the investigation of this second murder.
Both cases are treated by the authorities as independent incidents and remain under active investigation.
