San Francisco de Macorís: Investigation into shooting death of Joel Salazar Gil
Authorities in San Francisco de Macorís, Duarte province, are investigating the death of Joel Salazar Gil, who died after receiving multiple gunshot wounds in the Ensanche Olimpia sector. Preliminary reports suggest the incident occurred during a dispute, possibly involving the return of a motorcycle.
One report indicates that Leo Osvaldo García surrendered to authorities and is being investigated as the alleged responsible party. Another detail noted by investigators is that the victim, identified in some reports as Robert Salazar Gil, had voluntarily presented himself to the Central Directorate for Criminal Investigation (DICRIM) just two days prior to the attack, reportedly after learning he was being sought by authorities.
Family and friends held funeral services for the deceased, calling for justice and a full clarification of the circumstances surrounding the shooting. Police are working to determine if there is any connection between the victim's recent appearance at the police station and the fatal altercation.
