Overview

• Antonio Fiestas Sernaque, 23, was shot in the groin around 1:20 p.m. inside Notaría Quinde Rázuri in central Piura and remains stable under observation at Clínica Belén.
• Witnesses say two men pursued him on a motorcycle, entered the office, and one fired at point-blank range before fleeing with an envelope of cash.
• Reports differ on the amount stolen, with accounts citing roughly 30,000 to 40,000 soles, and no arrests have been reported.
• Police secured the notary’s security video, which shows one attacker with his face uncovered, and investigators are working to confirm identities and locate the suspects.
• In a separate case the night before, a 14-year-old was killed in Sullana by motorcycle assailants, prompting an investigation and protests over a delayed prosecutorial response for the body removal.
