Overview
- Two fatal shootings occurred in Callao on Tuesday, October 27, leaving an 18-year-old and a 27-year-old dead after both were rushed to hospitals.
- Roberto Carlos Riega Villanueva, 18, was intercepted by unknown men on a motorcycle near Avenida Alameda and Calle Yahuarinas, tried to hide under a parked truck, and died while being taken to Hospital San José del Callao; investigators recovered up to 11 shell casings at that scene.
- Jonathan Rodríguez Mamani, 27, was found shot on the pavement in the Santa Rosa settlement, was taken to Hospital Barton where he was declared dead, and investigators noted a prior robbery complaint from last year in his file.
- PNP officers secured both scenes, carried out forensic work, transported the bodies to the Morgue Central del Callao, and have opened formal investigations to establish motive and identify the assailants.
- Neighbors expressed alarm over the violence and authorities say the cases will be added to ongoing security work in Callao as investigators seek witnesses, the companion who walked with the 18-year-old, and surveillance or forensic leads that could reveal the attackers’ escape route.
