Police Treat San Martín de Porres Triple Killing as Targeted Execution Linked to Callao Gang

Investigators confront conflicting accounts about gunfire, with evidence collection ongoing; no arrests to date.

Overview

  • Two 15-year-old twins and an 18-year-old were found shot dead before dawn in the Muralla de Chuquitanta agricultural area of San Martín de Porres.
  • The 18-year-old was identified as Carlos Enrique Afanador Vicente, while the identities of the minors are being withheld under fiscal protocols.
  • Police say the victims had records and open fiscal files and assert they belonged to a Callao-based criminal group, framing the case as an execution.
  • Forensic teams recovered roughly 15–20 shell casings and police raised the possibility of silencer use, even as some neighbors reported hearing shots and screams.
  • The Dirincri Homicide Division leads the case, with necropsies conducted at the Central Morgue and CCTV and witness reviews underway, and no detentions reported.
