The Prosecutor’s Office formalized charges against two people for qualified homicide and against three more for violation of the drug law and arms control law, after a shooting that left a deceased in Villa Pucará, Quilicura, last Sunday, April 27. All the accused were in pretrial detention, while the court set a period of 120 days to conclude the investigation.
El fiscal ECOH, Rodrigo Moyaexplained that “Two foreign citizens were formalized for the crime of qualified homicide. It happened on April 27, 2025, when a Chilean citizen died due to bullet impacts. ”
In addition, he confirmed the arrest of three other individuals linked to drug trafficking and illegal possession of arms, who also remained in preventive detention.
The crime occurred when subjects who moved in a vehicle opened fire against the victim, who received multiple shots and died in the place. Although the reasons for the attack are still in investigation, preliminary history suggest that the fact could be related to account adjustments.
Bonds with organized crime under the magnifying glass
According to a history collected by the radio, the victim had recently left prison, which would reinforce the hypothesis of a directed attack.
Thus, the Public Ministry said that the 120 days of investigation will allow to deepen the mobile phones and the operational dynamics of the arrested group.
