  • Jean Paul Guerrero Rebaza was gunned down outside his Bellavista residence, where forensic teams recovered about 14 shell casings and Dirincri is reconstructing the shooters’ escape route from security footage.
  • Subofficer Maykol Daniel Ramírez León, who had been working extortion cases, was killed in Bellavista in what police treat as a directed hit, with investigators reviewing video for similarities to other attacks.
  • A foreign national identified as Edward was executed outside a Chorrillos carwash, with 24 casings found and police examining a possible adjustment-of-accounts motive after motorcycle-borne assailants fled.
  • Bus driver Michel Hurtado Serna was shot dead in Villa El Salvador, and transport leaders report ongoing extortion threats and warn of potential work stoppages as police pursue the cases.
