--- The context --- Los Frailes II, in Santo Domingo Este, was shaken by violence in an everyday neighborhood space. The small grocery store Los Gozosos, on Roca Cueva street, is where an argument ended with two men dead and a police search still under way. --- The facts --- The National Police, in coordination with the Public Prosecutor's Office, is searching for Martín Encarnación Vicente, identified as the alleged perpetrator of the shooting deaths of two men. According to preliminary investigations and the store owner's testimony, the incident occurred at midnight on Friday, when an argument for reasons not yet clarified turned into gunfire. The victims were identified as Frannis de la Paz Pérez, aged 42, and Antonio Rosario Medina. Both died from gunshot wounds, according to the body removal reports. The suspect left the scene on foot after the incident. --- The positions --- Police spokesperson Diego Pesqueira said the search remains active to bring the alleged perpetrator before the courts. The institution also indicated that the suspect allegedly belongs to the Army of the Dominican Republic and that more details will be offered as the investigation advances. --- What remains unknown --- Forensic police collected two 9-millimeter shell casings and other objects at the scene. The reasons for the argument have not been clarified and no arrest has been reported. --- Unanswered questions --- What sparked the argument that ended in gunfire inside the store? How will the suspect's alleged membership in the Army be confirmed? When will the authorities provide the additional details they announced? --- EPM analysis --- The case combines an unexplained conflict, a firearm and an escape on foot. The casings and objects collected will be key to supporting with evidence what so far rests on preliminary investigations and one testimony. 📌 EPM Take: In EPM's view, the immediate priority is to capture the suspect without endangering residents and to bring him before the courts with solid evidence, not just accusations. The community of Los Frailes II deserves clear answers about the motives behind the incident, safety guarantees in its everyday spaces and a transparent process that protects both due process and the memory of the two victims.
