A furious crowd hunted down and killed a man said to have murdered two people. The victim of local justice was one Willis Brioso, who had apparently killed Jorge Gil Diaz, 29, and Crisitan Delgado, 43, because they would not give him RD$500 to buy drugs. Brioso also wounded Enrique Ferreira Santos. Ferreira is in the Morillo King Hospital in La Vega along with Miguel Angel Castillo who was hurt in the leg as the police tried to break up the mob that assaulted Brioso with guns, rocks and clubs. According to police sources, law enforcement officers in Constanza used up their entire supply of tear gas while trying to disperse the lynch mob. Local sources told El Caribe reporter Miguel Ponce that people had reported Brioso to the police for the double homicide, but the police had not acted on the case. When residents saw Brioso getting up the morning following the killings, they began to chase him, leading to his death.
