Overview
- The attack struck a late-night pollada in the Nosiglia area of Breña on Sunday and left one man dead and four people wounded.
- The deceased was identified as John Alaín Pérez Huamán, 42, who died while being taken to the hospital and four injured were taken to Hospital Nacional Arzobispo Loayza and Hospital Santa Rosa.
- Police say two attackers arrived on a motorcycle, one fired at the gathering while the other stood nearby, and both fled after the motorcycle failed to start; officers later found an abandoned bike with an altered plate that has a capture order.
- In a separate case the same day in San Juan de Miraflores, officers detained a 16-year-old shown on security video stabbing a 59-year-old and seized a high-end phone plus packets that police say contained cocaine paste and marijuana.
- Investigations are ongoing with shooters in Breña still at large, officials treating the Breña shooting as a possible 'ajuste de cuentas', and police activity expected to focus on identifying suspects and tightening security at public social events.
