Young Mother Critical After Drive-By Shooting Outside Independencia’s 11:11 Club

Police are probing possible criminal motives in the attack.

Overview

  • The victim, identified as Yaritza Abigail Carmen Rojas, remains in the ICU at Hospital Cayetano Heredia with life‑threatening abdominal injuries.
  • Doctors reported damage to the liver, stomach and intestines, and a first attempt at surgery was suspended due to severe tachycardia as teams work to stabilize her.
  • The attack occurred early Sunday when two people on a motorcycle fired repeatedly at the nightclub’s frontage on Av. Gerardo Unger.
  • Relatives say police declined to provide a copy of their complaint because it was a holiday, and they criticized the lack of administrative attention at local stations.
  • Family members say Rojas is the sole provider for her children, ages 3 and 7, and they are seeking financial help as evidence at the scene included a pickup with a bullet‑pierced windshield.
