The metropolitan area of Puerto Rico was the scene from Friday to Saturday of three murders, two of them registered an hour apart in Bayamón and a third occurred in San Juan.
In Bayamón, the first violent death was reported at 3: 31 local time today (7: GMT) at the Texaco Drive in Plaza gas station, according to the Police statement.
A call to the 9-1-1 Emergency System alerted of a person wounded by a bullet in the place and, when the agents arrived, found on the ground the body shot of a man who has not been identified.
The second murder took place an hour later near a dispensary located on the highway 199, where the Police found the body of a man with gunshot wounds inside an Audi A4 vehicle.
The deceased has not been identified either and, at the moment, the motive for these events is unknown.
Both cases are being investigated by the Homicide Division of the Bayamón Criminal Investigation Unit, together with the prosecutor on duty.
A few hours before these crimes, on Friday night, a man was shot to death near a Puma garage in Puerto Nuevo, in San Juan.
The authorities received a call from Emergency system that alerted about shots at the scene and the Uniformed found the body of a 31 year-old man inside a Ford Explorer car.
With these three murders, the number of homicides so far this year on the island increased to 199, generally linked to settling scores and drug trafficking.
