A Venezuelan motorcycle taxi driver
was shot dead with more than twenty gunshots by two hitmen in Puente Piedra who were arrested
when they tried to escape. The weapons
of a police
officer
murdered
last year were seized from those arrested.
The crime occurred at the intersection of Margarita and Gandiolos streets in Puente Piedra , when Venezuelan Leonel José Hidalgo Linares was shot 20 times by one of his compatriots, who did not stop shooting
him until he was sure that he was dead.
After being alerted by the crime, agents from the Terna group were able to capture
the hitmen on the Panamericana Norte , identified as Ronald
Hernandez Pereyra and Yorbish Vargas Landaeta, also Venezuelans.
Those intervened were seized with a firearm that belonged to second
officer
Cristian Kengy Olascuaga Cruz, murdered
in May of last year, after resisting the theft
of his motorcycle.
The investigations will determine if they are also involved in the death
of police
officer
Olascagua. For now, they have already confessed their participation in the death
of their compatriot.
During the interrogation, one of the detainees, after being asked the reason for the crime, only stated that he was “A Venezuelan, a scum of life, he is also Venezuelan.”
