Overview

• Peru’s forensic police confirmed the Oct. 8 attack on Agua Marina was carried out with a 9 mm Parabellum pistol identified as a military and police–grade weapon.
• The ballistic report ties the concert shooting to the April 14 attack outside the Denbow nightclub in Villa María del Triunfo that killed Luis Venegas Carrasco and José Oria Infante.
• The same firearm was also linked to the Aug. 3, 2024 killing of Marlon Luis Rivera, connecting three cases involving performers.
• Authorities say the pattern points to intimidation and extortion tactics directed at artists and venues, with related investigations ongoing and no cross‑case arrests announced.
• Separately, the manager of the event promoter Jessmir Producciones, Glemn Antonio Montes Malaver, is under investigation for alleged organized crime and money laundering after Oct. 1 raids seized firearms, ammunition and cash.
