In a deadly incident in Seville’s Palmete district, one person lost their life and two others sustained serious injuries after an armed confrontation. Reports from Diario de Sevilla and ABC, corroborated by the combined emergency services 112 and Andalusian National Police, indicate that the events unfolded on a recent Saturday evening. At approximately 22:30, a caller to emergency services described loud explosions that appeared to be gunfire, heard on Libertad Street in the modest San José de Palmete neighborhood. The dispatches from 112 and police sources confirm a shooting on Libertad Street around this time, with authorities suggesting that gunfire was discharged from a moving vehicle before the assailants fled the scene. The violence prompted a swift response from multiple agencies, including the National Police, Local Police, and the Health Emergency Company (EPES) 061 teams, who arrived to secure the area and provide medical care to the injured. The immediate aftermath saw paramedics transporting the wounded to hospital facilities, while investigators began documenting the scene for the homicide unit. As of the initial hours after the incident, no arrests had been reported, and the Homicide Group has taken charge of coordinating the inquiry to determine the sequence of events and identify those responsible. The investigation continues as authorities seek to reconstruct the night’s events and provide public updates. (Diario de Sevilla; ABC; 112; National Police in Andalusia)
Local authorities emphasized that swift and coordinated action helped stabilize the situation and ensure casualty care for those affected. The incident has sparked a broader discussion about street safety in the Palmete district, where residents are assessing the implications for community security and the effectiveness of emergency response protocols during high-risk moments. Police spokespeople noted that the vehicle involved in the shooting would be scrutinized for clues, including possible surveillance footage from nearby businesses and streets, to map the trajectory of the attackers and verify whether multiple individuals participated. The public is urged to avoid the area while investigators collect evidence and speak with witnesses who may have witnessed the confrontation or heard the shots. The case underscores the ongoing challenge of violence in urban outskirts and the critical role of rapid police deployment, on-scene medical teams, and forensics in pursuing justice for the victims.

As the investigation proceeds, prosecutors are expected to release further details about the motives, possible links to organized crime, and any prior incidents in the same district. Community leaders have called for continued vigilance and dialogue with law enforcement to address residents’ concerns about safety, while health authorities remind the public that EPES teams remain ready to respond to emergencies across the city. The authorities reiterate that the Homicide Group is the lead unit in gathering forensic evidence, tracing ballistic trajectories, and interviewing witnesses to construct an accurate timeline of events. In the meantime, the two seriously injured individuals remain hospitalized under careful medical supervision, with ongoing updates anticipated as the inquiry advances.
