A 24-year old man and a 13-year old boy died of bullet wounds suffered during protests in the Santo Domingo slum neighborhood of Capotillo. Local residents were protesting the recent increase in power blackouts.
Carlos Francisco Peguero and Miguel Angel Encarnacion died of the fatal wounds. Neighbors say that neither of them were participating directly in the protests.
There are two sides to this story as Police say that unknown men shot at the crowd, fatally wounding both men. But residents say that police, patrolling the area, shot at the crowd without reason.
Both victims were taken to the Francisco Moscoso Puello hospital, where they died.
Police managed to eventually quell the protests by 6pm. General Geronimo Brown Perez, coordinator of the Barrio Seguro Program, said that the officers involved in the shootings would be brought to justice.
