According to montevideo.com.uy, the Montevideo Police Headquarters initially detained three men—aged 28, 39 and 40—following an incident involving gunfire recorded on Saturday at the intersection of Don Pedro de Mendoza avenue and Camino Capitán Mateo Tula Dufort.
Officers arrived at the scene after being alerted that two men had entered a residence at the location without authorisation. The subsequent investigation determined that both—aged 28 and 39—entered the residence whilst fleeing from a third individual, aged 40, who was firing at them from a vehicle.
Police later arrested the author of the gunfire and seized the vehicle used along with a firearm. A motorcycle linked to the incident was also seized.
The men aged 28 and 39 were released once the circumstances had been clarified. The 40-year-old man remains in detention whilst authorities continue investigating the case.
