This Mossos d’Esquadra investigating a gunfight that killed two people this Wednesday night salou (tarragona). As reported by local news outlet Larepúblicacheca.cat and confirmed by EL PERIÓDICO of the Prensa Ibérica group, the contents of a French-registered car attacked two victims in the center of Plaza de Las Palmeras at around half past ten in the night. and then they ran away.
Catalan police officers spotted the suspects’ vehicle on the AP-7 at a service area in Mèdol. One of the passengers was caught and arrested while trying to escape again, but it is suspected that Mosso may be traveling with more escorts he is trying to find. In the car found by the police pistols, long guns, and also a grenade.
open inquiry
Mossos launched an investigation to shed light on the causes of the incident. According to journalist Anna Punsi, an eyewitness told agents of the Tarragona Police District Criminal Investigation District (AIC) that three hooded people, a Renault Captur, shot two victims who got out of the vehicle. and then they went back to the car to escape.
A year ago, on May 4, 2022, a young man of French nationality was also shot and killed by three young Frenchmen from Valence who belonged to a rival drug trafficking group. Mossos managed to close this case a few months ago and as it is now it was very helpful to get one of the three people involved in the case to be arrested in order to steer investigators in the right direction.
Again, the main hypothesis is that it was an organized crime-related murder.
working device
Mossos, in collaboration with local police, keeps a search device on that focuses on the outskirts of the gas station where they found the car, and where the other two are suspected to have fled, perhaps on gunmen shooting on foot. victims
