Overview
- A 23-year-old driver, Jean Pierre Santiago Rodríguez Hinostroza, was shot dead while driving a Los Urbanitos combi in the Jaime Zubieta area of San Juan de Lurigancho, with witnesses and footage saying the attacker posed as a passenger before opening fire.
- Security cameras captured the attacker boarding the vehicle, firing at the driver, then fleeing through a nearby passage where a second person on a bicycle assisted the getaway; those recordings are now key police evidence.
- Drivers on Route C, who number about 25 and run between Mercado 10 de Canto Grande and the gate of Jicamarca, announced a suspension of service until authorities provide concrete safety guarantees.
- Transport workers report that company leaders have faced extortion threats, a claim that colleagues cite as part of the broader security pressure on the route though specific amounts and perpetrators remain unconfirmed.
- Police are conducting forensic and video diligences, including examining reports of no visible shell casings and a possible suppressed weapon, while neighbors demand more patrols and faster local serenazgo response.
