A 19-year old, Katherine Suriel Guzman died after being mortally injured by a bullet fired by a policeman during a confrontation between the Police, EdeNorte brigades and protestors in the community of Sonador, in Monsenor Nouel (Bonao) province. She was standing in the front of her house when she was hit by a bullet. A 31-year old man, Cecilio Sanchez Rodriguez, was also injured in the shooting.

Hoy reports that the bullet was fired by second lieutenant Mauricio Morillo who had arrived on the scene on a motorcycle in an attempt to control protests by youths blocking the road.

The EdeNorte brigades were removing a transformer in an area where locals had been using power without paying. EdeNorte reported that the incident occurred after the power distribution company crews had left the area, as reported in Hoy. EdeNorte was regularizing the power service in the area to convert users sourcing the power for free to paying consumers when angry local residents confronted them. An EdeNorte spokesman said that the crews and the military personnel who accompanied them had to leave the area without completing the installations.
