Among the collateral victims, an Uber Eats deliveryman was also injured, grazed by a projectile which caused a burn to his back.

The prosecution immediately opened an investigation into attempted murder. Police officers from the Organized and Specialized Crime Division (DCOS) are responsible for the investigations. Several shell casings were seized on site this Friday evening. The motive for the shooting remains unclear, but it could be linked to drug trafficking. At the beginning of the week, the national police carried out an operation to dismantle an entire network which sold drugs in this sector. Since this raid, tension has risen a notch in the city. Some would take advantage of the arrests to take control of the deal point.
