The mayor of Loíza, Julia Nazario Fuentes, mourned the killing of Baeily Omar Rivera Sanjurjo, 46, on the night of Friday, November 6, at the Equino Sport Bar in the Villas de Loíza neighborhood in Puerto Rico. Nazario Fuentes said she received information from the Police about the killing and that, although she had read on social media that the victim was a well-known person, she did not recall having had contact with him.
"It is the only information I have so far and it remains under investigation. His death is regrettable," the mayor said.
She noted that Loíza has about 23,500 residents, so she did not rule out having seen the businessman at some point, though she said she did not remember who he was. According to the information she received from the Police, several people arrived in a vehicle and shot the man while he was outside the business.
"It is the only information I have so far and it remains under investigation. His death is regrettable," the mayor said. Police information published about the incident states that it occurred around 11:14 PM on Friday, November 6, and that a call to the 9-1-1 Emergency System alerted the authorities.
Arriving at the establishment, officers found Rivera Sanjurjo’s body with multiple gunshot wounds that killed him at the scene. The Homicide Division of the Carolina Criminal Investigation Corps (CIC) continues to lead the investigation.
