Overview

• Line 57 driver Demetrio Gregorio Osorio Villegas was shot in the abdomen on Avenida Las Flores in San Juan de Lurigancho and was taken to a clinic by passengers.
• Witnesses said the gunman boarded as a passenger, shot the driver at close range, then escaped by hopping into a waiting mototaxi.
• Police secured the scene and said they do not rule out extortion against transport companies as the motive, with investigations underway to identify the attacker.
• Transport workers from routes 12, 57 and C formed bus caravans toward Congress, but police cordons blocked vehicles near Abancay and protesters continued on foot.
• Reports the same night detailed other attacks that wounded another driver and a 12-year-old, and unions highlighted repeated targeting of companies such as Huáscar and Las Flores while denouncing corruption and weak prosecutions.
