Director of Communications for the Transport Police (AMET), Miguel Medina, claims that a man shot by AMET officers on Thursday was neither a driver nor a fare collector and that the bullet that hit him, resulting in his death, had been aimed at the floor and not at the man. There have been conflicting reports from various witnesses as to what happened. What is known is that Jose Aridson Rodriguez was stopped by AMET officers Juan Francisco Fabian and Gustavo Garcia Estrella for a minor traffic violation on Maximo Gomez and Los Martires avenues. After discovering that Rodriguez did not have a driving license they proceeded to seize the vehicle. While this was happening, a man identified as Santo Henriquez Abad stabbed one of the officers in the left arm. As a result a gun was produced by one of the officers and Henriquez was shot dead. AMET says that the incident is being investigated.
