Overview
- A combi driver, identified as 23-year-old Sandro Guerra, was shot multiple times in Huachipa and taken to Hospital Emergencia Ate Vitarte where his death was certified.
- Police say two people on a motorcycle approached the stopped combi, shot the driver and then fled from the scene.
- In a separate incident, a cúster in San Juan de Miraflores was fired on by two men on a motorcycle, wounding the driver and a passenger who were taken to Hospital María Auxiliadora.
- Family members have publicly urged the Policía Nacional to find and detain the attackers and investigators are working to establish motive and whether the two shootings are connected.
- Transport operators across Lima and Callao say violence against drivers is rising, a pattern that uses motorcycles for quick attacks and escapes and could prompt calls for new security measures if cases go unresolved.
