Agua Marina Concert Shooting: Four Band Members Reported Stable After Nighttime Attack

Investigators are examining extortion as a possible motive in the Chorrillos assault.

Overview

  • EsSalud said keyboardist César More and host Wilson Ruiz are clinically stable, out of immediate danger, and do not require emergency thoracic surgery at Hospital Guillermo Almenara.
  • Luis and Manuel Quiroga are stable at Clínica Maison de Santé; doctors scheduled a wound-cleaning procedure for Manuel, and indicated Luis does not need surgery, with no vital organs affected.
  • Authorities said shots were fired from outside the rear of the stage and recovered 27 nine-millimeter casings, with reports suggesting a compact submachine gun may have been used as forensic work continues.
  • Prosecutors counted a fifth injured person, a beverage vendor, who described being grazed by a bullet before receiving treatment at Hospital Casimiro Ulloa.
  • Hermanos Chapoñay apologized for falsely announcing a death, and public figures renewed calls for stronger security at music events and clearer government action against extortion.
