Preliminarily, investigations indicate that a single individual arrived at the scene on a motorcycle, parked it, and subsequently approached the victim, who was installing a sound system in their vehicle along with another person. During a struggle, the assailant fired several shots and fled the scene.
The National Police reiterated that, although one of the initial hypotheses points to an attempted robbery, the motive for the incident has not yet been conclusively established.
