In the development of the investigation, the weapons used in the event were recovered, seizing a Glock pistol, 9mm caliber, model 19, with its magazine and three cartridges, which would have been used to commit the assault. It is stated that although the affected commercial establishment and the victims did not file a formal complaint with the authorities; however, the National Police assumed the case ex officio, in compliance with its constitutional and legal duty to pursue punishable acts and guarantee citizen security. The institution urges citizens to formalize their complaints before the corresponding detachments and departments, since, although dissemination in the media and social networks helps to make the facts visible, the formal complaint strengthens the investigative files and facilitates the effective submission of those responsible. The detainees will be brought before the justice system.
