Comas: three men were killed by suspected hit men in a park, in front of children

On the night of April 7, in the park “Año Nuevo” very close to Miguel Grau Avenue, in the district of Comas, a group of hit men three people were killed in front of the local market located on Juan Velasco Alvarado Avenue. The men so far have not been identified.

According to witnesses to the incident, two people arrived at the scene aboard two linear motorcycles and fired more than 30 times at their victims. The most worrying thing is that they didn't care that there were about 30 children playing in the recreation park.

The victims arrived at the park aboard two vehicles, a taxi and a van. They would have been talking with some friends until the two motorcycles arrived in the area and one of the hit men shot them at close range. The victims tried to run away, but were hit by bullets.

IN POLICE INVESTIGATION

Law enforcement officers from the Pascana police station arrived at the scene and cordoned off the area, then the crime experts arrived. There was also the presence of the prosecutor on duty, with whom the bodies were taken to the Collique morgue, to continue the investigations. More than 20 bullet casings were found.

The victims' families also arrived at the scene, but avoided all contact with the press.

Although those killed have not been identified, there are some versions of the reason for the crime and who the alleged hit men would be. It is thought that they would be members of Civil Construction; although it is a version not corroborated by the authorities.

On the other hand, it is presumed that one of those killed was an officer of the National Police. In another version, it is thought that one of the victims was a businessman and the other two were police officers who worked as security. So far, however, the crime remains in the area of investigation.
