Tragic confrontation in Nizao: Two men die after exchange of gunfire with DICRIM
A recent operation carried out by agents of the Central Directorate of Investigation (DICRIM) in the municipal district of Don Gregorio, located in Nizao, Peravia province, resulted in two people dead following an alleged armed confrontation.
Among the deceased was identified Wander Cuevas, widely known in the area by the nickname “El Poli”. So far, the authorities have not been able to determine the identity of the second individual who lost their life in the incident.
Criminal background and grounds for persecution
According to reports obtained by Alofoke Deportes, Wander Cuevas was actively sought by security forces due to his alleged involvement in criminal acts.

Ongoing research
- Wander Cuevas, alias “El Poli”, had multiple arrest warrants for various crimes.
- The incident occurred in the municipal district of Don Gregorio, Nizao.
- Police authorities have not yet provided a detailed report on the specific circumstances surrounding the exchange of gunfire.
The Nizao community is awaiting an official statement from DICRIM, the agency that committed to providing further details regarding this operation and clarifying how the events that ended the lives of the two men unfolded.
