DominicanToday.com - The streets of this resort community yesterday became the scene of gang warfare, with one dead and one hurt, shuttered schools and businesses, and snarled traffic.
The Police struggled to control the streets as many families fled to other places seeking protection from the gunfire during the clashes.
News source elnacional.com.do reports that the turmoil resumed after Jose Miguel Simonó (Tríllalo), 53, was shot early Tuesday morning and died later at the Contreras hospital. He was reportedly the father of one of the gang’s ringleaders , in an parent two-year long turf war that has claimed the lives of at least 10 people and several others injured by bullets.
Some Police agents are also blamed for some crimes including murders, armed robbery, and sexual offenses, among others. |
