According to versions compiled by the authorities with eyewitnesses to this crime, it seems that a man who was traveling on a motorcycle approached the driver of a taxi and intimidated him with a firearm.

Subsequently, the driver of the public service vehicle tried to defend himself and with the assailant's own firearm, shot him several times, taking his life at the scene of the murder.

Some versions indicated that the driver got out of the taxi and picked up the weapon that the deceased was carrying, with which apparently minutes before he had committed a robbery in the sector. The victim, who has not yet been identified, was wearing a light shirt, blue jeans, a brown strap, blue shoes and was carrying a black suitcase.
