Public gangland executions  claim two more victims

Public assassinations linked to gang warfare continue to mount with hitmen acting with seeming impunity in front of multiple witnesses.

On Monday morning, September 23 one person was killed and three injured when a hitman dressed as a student boarded a bus on the Costa Arriba-Colón route.

The bus came from the community of Guayra, in the  Isla Grande community, and was boarded by the killer in Puerto Pilón.

He started shooting, impacting several people, including a man who died. A woman with a bullet in the stomach was among the injured.

 She was transferred to the emergency department of the Sabanitas polyclinic, where she remains in critical condition

The hitman escaped in a waiting car.

On Sunday afternoon, a soccer player took three bullets in the head from a hitman shortly after finishing playing in a  game, for the  Llano Largo, team in Guadalupe La Chorrera.

Witnesses said the killer arrived in a taxi walked to where the victim was eating a snack, shot him three times, and then escaped in the same vehicle.
