A tragic incident unfolded on Monday night in the Barrio Borro neighborhood of Montevideo, where a 41-year-old man lost his life to a fatal gunshot wound. The victim, who was shot in the head, was found in a mechanical workshop on the intersection of Horacio García Lagos and José Martirené streets.
Investigation Underway
According to Miguel Chagas, a journalist from News Agency, the crime scene yielded 16 pods of a 9mm weapon, with witnesses suggesting that the attack was carried out from a motorcycle. The body of the deceased was discovered inside the workshop, although the attack itself occurred outside. It appears that the victim had attempted to run into the workshop after being shot.
The police are not ruling out the possibility that the deceased may have sustained additional bullet wounds, and a thorough investigation is ongoing to determine the full extent of his injuries. From what the researchers have gathered so far, it seems that the victim had visited the workshop to see a friend, who owns the business. He had parked his motorcycle at the door and was shot in the head as he dismounted.
Victim’s Background
The deceased had a history of run-ins with the law, with a record of crimes related to narcotics, theft, and driving vehicles without proper authorization. The authorities are currently exploring whether the attack was specifically targeted at him. The Homicide Department and Scientific Police are working together to investigate the incident, and their personnel are present at the scene, gathering evidence and interviewing witnesses. As the investigation unfolds, more details about the circumstances surrounding the victim’s death are likely to emerge.
