Investigation Underway in North Hill Murder
A 43-year-old man was fatally shot in Pasaje Artigas and Porto Alegre, North Hill, on Monday afternoon. The victim had been released from prison just three months prior to the incident.
According to reports, the man sustained at least three gunshot wounds to the back. A medical emergency unit confirmed his death at the scene.
The lack of video surveillance cameras at the intersection has hindered the investigation. However, personnel from the Republican Guard, Scientific Police, and the Homicide Department are working together to gather evidence and piece together the events surrounding the murder.
Journalist Miguel Chagas, who was present at the scene, reported that the medical vehicle was escorted by police to ensure its safe departure, as it was being stoned by individuals in the area.
