A woman was found shot dead on the pavement at 4:00 AM on Sunday, November 8, in the Soto Monte sector of the Jagüeyes neighborhood in Yabucoa, the Puerto Rico Police Bureau’s press office reported. The Homicide Division of the Criminal Investigations Corps (CIC) in Humacao, with the on-duty prosecutor, is handling the case. The woman has not been identified and no motive has been established.
Separately, at 2:51 AM that same Sunday, a shooting in front of a business on 65 de Infantería Avenue in Río Piedras killed Víctor Flores Castillo, 25, and wounded another man and a woman whose conditions were not known. Shell casings of various calibers were recovered at the scene, and the Homicide Division of the CIC in San Juan and the on-duty prosecutor are working it.
The two killings, an hour apart, raise to seven the number of killings reported between Friday and early Sunday, according to preliminary Police reports.
