Two Young Men Shot and Killed in Calle Uruguay Disco
Two young men were killed early Saturday morning by a man, who has net yet been either identified or captured, who opened fire inside a nightclub on Calle Uruguay in Bella Vista in the capital city. Preliminary investigations indicate the murderer entered the nightclub and, without a word, open fire on a group of people. Alberto Edwin Griffin, age 25, died instantly when he was shot 13 times. Meanwhile, Juan Manuel Navarro, 18 years old, who was shot in the back, died after being transferred to St. Thomas hospital. The two victims didn't know one another.
The shooting caused the rest of the people who were at the club to flee in terror. The murderer walked out of the club and climbed into a black pickup truck that was parked near the site, and escaped without problems. Sources said yesterday that prosecutors are reviewing video tapes from security cameras outside the place to try to identify the murderer. The First Superior Prosecutor, Geomar Jones, is conducting the investigation, while Criminology experts found 20 shell casings inside and outside of the room. It is believed this was a case of revenge against Griffin. (La Prensa)
