Confrontation in Nizao leaves two dead following DICRIM operation
A recent operation carried out by agents of the Central Directorate of Investigation (DICRIM) in the municipal district of Don Gregorio, located in the municipality of Nizao, Peravia province, concluded with the death of two men in an alleged exchange of gunfire with the authorities.
Among the deceased was identified Wander Cuevas, widely known in the area by the nickname “El Poli”. So far, the identity of the second individual who lost their life at the scene has not been established by security agencies.
Criminal record
Wander Cuevas was a high-priority target for law enforcement, as he had multiple arrest warrants against him for his alleged involvement in various criminal acts. Among the charges brought against him, his alleged responsibility for the armed attack against Pablo Martínez, which occurred last September in Nizao, stands out.
The attack against Pablo Martínez, who was seriously injured after being shot seven times, had generated a climate of deep concern and uncertainty among the residents of the community.
Research status
Although preliminary information suggests that the deaths of both men occurred after confronting the police patrol, the authorities have not yet provided a detailed report on the exact chronology of the events or the specific circumstances that triggered the confrontation.
It is expected that in the coming hours, DICRIM will issue an official statement to clarify what happened and provide further details regarding the identity of the second deceased person, as well as the specifics of the police deployment carried out in Don Gregorio.
