According to initial reports, the victim, along with a group of police officers, went to 5 de Febrero Street to respond to a report of a fight between neighbors, who were carrying firearms. Upon arrival, they saw a resident without vital signs.
“Intervening to make an arrest, from home the citizens fired at least three shots with a shotgun against the uniformed officers, after which the Head of the Sector was injured, so paramedics from the Rescue and Emergency Medical Squad (ERUM) transferred him to a nearby sports car where a Condor helicopter received him and took him to a hospital where he unfortunately lost his life,” explained the SSC.
On the spot, the probable person responsible for the attack was arrested; however, neighbors and relatives tried to stop him from being transferred to an official vehicle, which led to fights with the people, who threw stones and sticks at the police officers.
