Miraflores Seafront Killing Investigated as Contract Hit After 14 Gunshots

Investigators are reconstructing the victim’s final 30 minutes from security video and forensic evidence as they work to verify his identity and motive.

Overview

  • Municipal cameras tracked the victim arriving from the south, parking near the Colegio Médico at 9:26 p.m., meeting others for about 30 minutes, and the first shot sounding at 10:02 p.m.
  • Forensic teams recovered 14 nine-millimeter casings and officials say the shooter chose a dark, low-traffic spot near the cliff to carry out a close-range attack.
  • Documents found on the body identify the man as Dennis Jesús Sánchez Ramírez, reported as Venezuelan, but police say formal identification remains pending after necropsy.
  • A vehicle key among the victim’s belongings matched a gray Nissan Tiida (plate D0L-338) parked nearby, which is being processed for fingerprints, biological traces, and other clues.
  • Depincri/Dirincri are reviewing public and private footage and weighing motives including an arranged meeting and a paid hit, with conflicting reports on whether the assailants fled by motorcycle or used another vehicle; the municipality is supplying video and logistical support.
