Puerto Rico’s Bayamón Criminal Investigation Corps (CIC) is investigating a shooting on highway PR-5 in the Puente Blanco neighborhood of Cataño that left a 19-year-old man dead and his 17-year-old friend wounded by multiple gunshots. According to authorities, the two were riding together on a Scrambler motorcycle along the road when they were attacked by gunfire.
Responders initially suspected a traffic accident, but upon arriving at the scene, authorities realized both victims had been shot. Paramedics stabilized the 17-year-old before he was rushed to a hospital for emergency treatment. No suspects, motive, or further details were provided in the report.
