Video Captures Chimbote Restaurant Double Killing as Police Probe Motives

Investigators are weighing an extortion angle versus a possible relationship dispute after reports of prior threats.

Overview

  • The shooting occurred around 1 a.m. Friday inside La Carpa in central Chimbote, killing Jeason Alexis Pacherres Sánchez, known as ‘Farolito’, and his friend Hugo Alexander Haro Alarcón.
  • Security footage shows two men posing as customers stand up, shoot the victims at close range, then take phones and wallets before escaping.
  • Police, criminalists, prosecutors and forensic specialists processed the scene and transferred both bodies to the Chimbote morgue for examinations.
  • Depincri Chimbote is pursuing two primary lines of inquiry: a suspected extortion or adjustment-of-accounts motive tied to Haro, or a possible sentimental conflict.
  • Authorities report Haro had prior records for aggravated robbery and extortion and had allegedly received death threats by text, and the two assailants remain unidentified and at large.
