Overview
- Security video shows two gunmen approach a parked vehicle on the 2nd block of Av. Grau; the driver ran toward the sidewalk and was fatally shot there.
- Police forensic teams reported finding 18 shell casings at the scene, though an earlier account cited 11, and investigators are working to confirm the victim’s identity and motive.
- The shooting occurred near the Palace of Justice and the Emergency Hospital Grau, leading police to cordon the area and divert traffic.
- In a separate attack in San Borja, two assailants on a motorcycle fired at a restaurant, injuring a kitchen worker who was hospitalized in stable condition.
- Initial lines of inquiry do not rule out alleged extortion as a motive in the San Borja case, and President José Jerí confirmed the Lima–Callao emergency measure will continue to reinforce anti-crime operations.
