A female assistant prosecutor, 33, was gunned down near her home last night. The National Police are investigating the confusing incident, which resulted in the death of the assistant District Attorney for the National District, Gissel Odaliza Reyes Diaz, 33. She was killed by two people who intercepted her a few meters from her house as she was walking home after buying two pizzas.
As reported in Diario Libre, the victim lived in the Eugenio Maria de Hostos residential area near Charles de Gaulle Avenue, in the province of Santo Domingo. According to witnesses, she was walking along with her driver, who is a sergeant in the National Police, when two armed individuals told them to stop, and gunfire broke out immediately. Her companion, identified only as Luciano, is being questioned. Reyes Diaz was hit by a gunshot in the back, with no visible exit wound, according to the medical examiner's report. The two pizza boxes the prosecutor had bought were in the house, since the driver, when the gunfire started, managed to reach the house and asked relatives if the magistrate had come back.
The Police are working on the hypothesis that it was a robbery or perhaps a relationship problem. In the meantime, the District Attorney for the province of Santo Domingo, Perfecto Acosta, who went to the crime scene, said that he did not know if the victim had any problems with some case related to her work.
At the crime scene, the authorities found 14 shell casings, of which 13 were supposedly fired at the assailants by her driver. Reyes Diaz had been working as a prosecutor in the National District for between six to eight months, after being transferred from Monte Plata at her own request. The body of the victim, who was the daughter of the former PLD city council member in Santo Domingo East, Milagros Diaz, was taken to the Forensic Pathology Institute for an autopsy. The Police reported that the victim had all of her belongings.
The prosecutor left four children, ages 2, 4, 7 and 12. Gisel Reyes Diaz worked in the department of Gender Violence for the District Attorney of the National District. The District Attorney, Alejandro Moscoso Segarra, told reporters that Reyes had not been working on any dangerous cases.
