Investigations indicate that in the first homicide, Ortiz del Rosario allegedly acted together with a man of Haitian nationality identified as Jackson Dhaiti, alias “Jaki Bemba”. Meanwhile, in the most recent crime, he allegedly had the participation of another individual known only by the nicknames “Joel” and/or “Puñala”.
For both cases, DICRIM maintains an active search for “Maco Toro”, identified as the main suspect in both homicides.
Relatives of the victims requested that the authorities expedite his capture, considering that he represents a danger to society and with the goal of preventing further acts of violence from occurring.
