A Dominican national has been extradited from the Dominican Republic to Chile to face charges of aggravated homicide and illegal possession of a firearm. The suspect is accused of murdering a 25-year-old Venezuelan man in the Recoleta commune in July 2025. 

Following the crime, the suspect fled Chile via an unauthorized border crossing. After coordinated efforts between Interpol, Carabineros de Chile, and Dominican authorities, the individual was returned to Chile. A guarantee court has ordered pretrial detention, citing the suspect as a flight risk and a danger to society, and has set a 60-day period to conclude the investigation.
