Tuesday’s victims were playing soccer when armed people invaded the pitch and fired dozens of shots, killing two on site. The other two later died from their injuries, local news outlet G1 reported.
Military police later arrested three individuals aged 18, 19 and 22, with prior convictions for attempted murder, robbery and drug trafficking, the secretariat for public safety and social defense said in a statement. They now face charges of homicide, being part of a criminal organization, illegal possession of a firearm and corruption of a minor.
A 15-year-old was also taken into custody. An investigation is underway.
The secretariat said the military police will increase its presence in the area for an indefinite period. (AP) GSP
