Attempted assault in another criminal case in Peru. However, the victim was not at risk after an “accident” among the accomplices. In Huacho, two subjects approached a motorcyclist to steal his belongings and his mobile phone. At that time, one of the alleged criminals points the gun and fires, but the bullet falls to his accomplice who falls to the ground in blood and died on the spot.

The incident, according to RPP Noticias, occurred in the Hualmay mini-market, on the street of the same name with José Carlos Mariátegui in Huacho, Huaura province, Lima region. The news was revealed thanks to a security camera that recorded the precise moment when the suspected thug “accidentally” shot his accomplice. Both were dressed in dark clothes to go unnoticed.

Police arrived at the scene, who identified the deceased as 24-year-old Arturo Roberto Bazalar Meza. Neighbors asked for greater police control in the area, as robbery and motorbike and motorcycle taxis are constantly being committed.

THE VIDEO

According to the security camera, the motorcyclist was in front of the mini-market, sitting on his motorcycle typing on his cell phone. It was night, when suddenly the two subjects appeared dressed in dark clothes. Everyone goes on a different path to surround man. One of them had a hood and drew his gun to point the young man and threaten him.

It is at that moment, perhaps because of the tension of the moment when the thug decides to point his firearm after hitting the victim. His cell phone, helmet and vehicle key had already been taken away, but there were still struggles. At that moment the subject shoots “by accident” and injures his partner. The bullet went to the head, which caused him to fall to the ground and a pool of blood lay on his side. He died on the spot.
