The National Police has formally accused five young men of the murder of AMET Internal Affairs assistant Major Paula Mercedes, 38, in a shooting last Tuesday in the Claret sector of the National District. The police said that the motive was robbery and that she resisted. Most of the young men, who average just 20 years old, are members of a gang that has committed other crimes, including a raid on a propane gas station where a retired lieutenant was murdered. According to Diario Libre, for this crime, a judge at the bail hearing only imposed bail and regular visits to the Prosecutor's Office on the five men, and that is why they were on the streets. The group used the same weapon in both crimes. The police accused Junior D'Oleo (Junito), Danny Turbi Garcia (Sanguilin) and Juan Carlos Espino Tavarez (Papito), all 21, and Jose Luis Vicente Santos (El pintor), 20, who are under arrest, of the crime, and requested that they be remanded in prison. Meanwhile, the fifth person implicated in the crime, known only by his nickname, "Riminin", is said to be the person who actually shot the Major at point-blank range. This person is currently being sought by the police. At the press conference, police spokesman Colonel Nelson Rosario, accompanied by District Attorney Alejandro Moscoso Segarra and the officers who investigated the case, explained how D'Oleo Vicente drove the RD115 motorcycle used to flee the scene. Likewise, they pointed to Turbi Garcia as the owner of the Bersa pistol that was allegedly used by Riminin. Rosario indicated that Vicente Santos and Espino Tavare were responsible for hiding the weapon allegedly used to kill the retired police Second Lieutenant Juan Cabrera on 5 October in the Cafe de Herrera. In this case, Jose Luis Rosario Taveras (Billini), Jose Alberto Florentino (Papito), Leandris Alberto Ramirez Casado (Leo) and Fernando Cruz Villa were accused of the crime and sent before the courts. Joan Manuel Alcantara de Jesus was also arrested. Danny Turbi Garcia was also implicated in the death of Geraldy Jose Ramirez de Leon on 6 October in the Jardines del Norte section of Santo Domingo, using the same weapon as was used to kill Major Mercedes. According to the Police forensics report, the shell casings found at both crime scenes were from the same weapon, now in Police possession. Jose Alberto Florentino, Leandri Ramirez Casado, Ivan Batista Valdez, Fernando Cruz and Jose Luis Rosario Tavarez are all accused of roles in the murder of retired lieutenant Juan Cabrera who was the watchman at the propane gas station in Herrera.
