The Homicide Division of the Humacao Criminal Investigation Corps (CIC) is looking for a person of interest to interview in connection with the shooting death of a woman in Yabucoa, Puerto Rico, over the weekend. Sergeant Johan M. Cantres, a supervisor in that division, confirmed they are seeking a man who may have knowledge of the events or involvement, to be questioned.
He did not specify whether the man is a former partner or give other details of the theory gaining strength after the killing, because the man has not been located. Relatives and people close to the deceased have been interviewed for leads, and Cantres was asked whether the man was the last person seen with her.
The body of Yaneris Crespo Vázquez, 36, a resident of San Lorenzo, was found at 3:45 AM on Sunday on the pavement in the Soto Monte sector of the Jagüeyes neighborhood in Yabucoa. She worked at a bakery in the town where she lived. The femicide protocol was activated from the start of the investigation.
The victim had no criminal record, no active protection orders and had not filed complaints for domestic violence. Agent Pedro E. Medina Negrón of the Homicide Division and prosecutor Israel Umpierre investigated the scene.
