Two separate fatal shooting incidents have occurred in San Francisco de Macorís. In the first incident, Edgar Alberto Sánchez died from a gunshot wound to the head following a confrontation with his brother-in-law, Braylin Alexis Guzmán. Guzmán surrendered to authorities, claiming he fired the shot after Sánchez allegedly followed him to his residence and attempted to attack him following a dispute involving Guzmán’s sister. Medical professionals reportedly determined that the severity of the injury made surgery unfeasible.
