Moneychanger Julio Cesar Solano was murdered yesterday afternoon, in a case attributed to a family dispute. According to Diario Libre, Solano was killed by four shots fired by a man who arrived at the Solano Exchange House on a motorcycle around 2pm, accompanied by another person. The money exchange business is located on Juana Saltitopa Street near the corner of Ana Valverde Street. Solano was sitting outside the premises and his killers escaped on a motorcycle. Solano was killed instantly and his body was taken to the morgue at the Luis Eduardo Aybar Hospital.

Manuel Antonio Solano, a brother of the victim, accused Carlos Julio Solano - a cousin of the deceased - of sending the hitmen to "give him a fright" because of the legal conflicts that both men were involved in over a dispute of ownership of the business. On 2 November 2009, the District Attorney of the National District seized RD$50 million from the exchange agency. Carlos Julio is said to be a member of the alleged network of Manuel Emilio Mesa Beltre (El Gringo), who is accused of drug trafficking. National Police spokesman Colonel Maximo Baez Aybar reported that Carlos Julio gave himself up to the Police at Headquarters, in response to the accusations against him. As well as Carlos Julio, another six individuals were also picked up for questioning.
