El hecho ocurri\u00f3 en un sector cercano a un centro comercial y gener\u00f3 alarma entre los habitantes de la zona.<\/p>\n

Seg\u00fan los primeros reportes, la v\u00edctima se movilizaba en su veh\u00edculo cuando un sujeto armado, que circulaba en motocicleta, la intercept\u00f3 y dispar\u00f3 en repetidas ocasiones contra la ventanilla del conductor.

Este hecho se suma a otros episodios registrados este mismo d\u00eda en sectores como\u00a0Santa Luc\u00eda<\/b>\u00a0y\u00a0La Ensenadita<\/b>. Con este caso, el distrito alcanza al menos\u00a0126 muertes violentas en lo que va del a\u00f1o<\/b>.<\/p>\n
