Army officer First Lieutenant Guillermo Antonio Tejada Kranwinkel, assigned to the National Drug Control Department (DNCD), died yesterday at the Intensive Care Unit at the National Police Hospital. Tejada was hospitalized on Monday after being shot four times at close range by an unidentified assailant. The young officer received the shots while in his vehicle. He was in San Cristobal at the time and had recently left a local barbershop. Tejada's death raises the number of DNCD officials killed to seven in the last few months. Hoy writes that the 26-year old officer died of respiratory failure at 8:35pm. Chances of recovery were known to be slim when news of Tejada's shooting was announced, as the officer was shot in the head and thorax. National Police Chief Rafael Guillermo Guzman Fermin says that investigations into Tejada's murder are ongoing, but did not provide any details about the case.
