operatives. A shooting carried out by rival gangs left at least one dead and four people injured on Saturday night in the Felipillo sector, district of 24 de Diciembre.
The violent episode originated in village 17, Manzana 8 of Felipillo when gang members disguised as agents of the Judicial Investigation Department (DJ) entered the 'La Resistencia' sector, releasing bullets and five people who were in the place were injured.
One of them died minutes later in the emergency room of the Irma de Lourdes Tzanetatos hospital.
The victim was identified as Carlos Alberto Cortés, who was a member of the Jehovah's Witnesses church. Apparently Cortés was carrying out work in the area when he was hit by bullets.
The National Police reported that the gunmen have been fully identified and that they will soon be captured.
"He was a man of God," commented a person on social networks after the violent event.
"What a pity that innocent people die here at the hands of criminals and where justice is, they go around saying that they dismantled, that I don't know who was taken prisoner, but everything remains the same," another Internet user posted.
"Carlos was not a gunman, he was a servant of God, he was in the wrong place, since these criminals do not care who is there," another commented.
Until the month of April of this 2023, the Public Ministry had reported a total of 177 cases of homicides nationwide. San Miguelito reflects more crimes.
