Lima Authorities Probe Agua Marina Concert Shooting That Injured Five

Forensic counts of dozens of rounds sharpen scrutiny over missing event guarantees.

Overview

  • Police and prosecutors opened preliminary proceedings, ordering ballistic and biological tests after technicians logged about 25 shots and 23 impacts at the Chorrillos venue.
  • The initial investigative hypothesis is that the gunfire came from outside the site targeting the stage, according to early crime‑scene analyses.
  • Four band members — Luis and Manuel Quiroga Querevalú, César More, and Wilson Ruíz — were hospitalized, and a clinic reported the Quiroga brothers are stable and out of danger.
  • The Interior Ministry said the concert lacked guarantees from the Directorate of Government Interior and that local police were not notified, warning that this left performers and attendees exposed.
  • Organizers canceled the October 11 Plaza Norte show and issued refund guidance, while artists cite a nationwide surge in extortion and some groups, including Armonía 10, report using bulletproof vests after recent attacks such as the fatal shooting of singer Elvis Junior Reyes Flores.
