The victim, 53 years old, was shot at least 9 times by a 9mm caliber firearm. The incident happened around 20:30. According to police data, the Albanian was waiting for his wife, who was in the hospital, visiting her father.
The perpetrators arrived on a motorcycle and after committing the murder left with the same vehicle they arrived with. The local police tried to urgently send the Albanian to the Luis Vernaza hospital, but then he was sent to the Panamericana clinic, where he died due to his injuries.
Then the forensic procedures were carried out, such as the analysis of the scene and the transfer of the body to the Forensic Laboratory.
In a short version received from the wife of the Albanian citizen, she mentioned that her husband did not work because he was without documents and that the money he receives is because his relatives sent him remittances from Albania and Canada.
