The injured minor was taken to the San Ignacio Clinic, from where he was sent to the Adelita de Char University Road, where his health prognosis is reserved.
On the outskirts of the health center, Family members of the minor provided details of what happened.
“I was lying on the bed when I felt the shots and the child was there, but the door was closed. So, it was through the window that the shot came in that hit the child that he was in the room with his mother, ”said the 50-year-old man, who has been a pensioner of the National Police for 23 years.

Those people around here are calm, it seemed strange to us that what happened, ”said a resident of the sector who preferred not to reveal her identity.
Extortion?
There are several hypotheses used by the judicial investigators who are handling the case, among them, the non-payment of extortion by the child’s father to the gang ‘Los Costeños’.
“We are analyzing all the security cameras in the sector to determine who is responsible for this fact.. Similarly, we are interviewing the family to find out which lines of investigation to define, but one of the hypotheses that takes more force is that of non-payment of extortion, but we continue to investigate what happened, “said an investigator of the case in dialogue with THE HERALD.
After the event, several of the witnesses came to the house to find out what happened, who reiterated that the people who reside in the house where the attack took place “have no problems in the sector.”
