How did the event happen?
According to the information handled by the local authorities, they believe that it is due to a possible retaliation against the wife and daughter of the sergeant.
In addition, they reported that the hit man managed to circumvent the security of the area and then run to the residence, with the aim of getting the woman and her daughter into his truck, to finally shoot them at close range.
Henry Herrera, colonel and zonal chief of the Violent Deaths Unit (Dinased), explained that, after the bullet wounds, the driver managed to advance a few more meters until she ended up colliding with other vehicles and a house.
