The alleged hit man who is said to have killed Army First Lieutenant Guillermo Antonio Tejeda Kranwinkel has been arrested. Tejeda Kranwinkel, who was assigned to service in the National Drug Control Department (DNCD), was killed on 3 March 2008. The arrest is believed to have taken place on Wednesday and the person was being interrogated at police headquarters, according to information obtained by El Nuevo Diario.
The officer attached to the DNCD, and son of journalist Guillermo Tejeda, was killed by several gunshots in March 2008, on Padre Borbon Street in San Cristobal, a crime attributed to drug trafficking organizations.
Last Monday, the assistant director of the Central Department of Criminal Investigations, Jacinto Minaya, reported that investigative units had identified the person believed to have carried out the killing of the young officer.
Tejeda Kranwinkel was shot several times in broad daylight when he was getting into his vehicle that was parked on the street where he was surprised by the man, who immediately fled the scene. The family's lawyer, Pedro Duarte Canaan, says that the murder was committed by high-ranking military officers tied to drug trafficking.
The investigation into the crime now enters the second phase under the coordination of Colonel Alejandro Dipre Sierra and assistant prosecutor Bolivar Sanchez.
