Residents of Santiago's Pueblo Nuevo barrio took to the streets in protest against the postponement of the trial of two police officers accused of killing a young girl, her aunt and an alleged criminal last April. According to Listin Diario, the protests started when friends and neighbors of the two women killed by Antonio Margarin Hernandez and Jose Juan Francisco learned that the accused had not arrived from the jail in La Vega and that the preliminary hearing at the First Court of Instruction would have to be rescheduled. In the Pueblo Nuevo barrio, tires were set on fire and the police called in to maintain order. Over 100 tear gas canisters were used to quell the rioting.
