The man who when walking his dog this morning and was the victim of an attempted assault to which he responded by shooting dead one of the alleged robbers has been identified as Gabriel Lipovetsky, an Israeli citizen in the country who is devoted precisely to provide security to private companies.
Lipovetsky received a bullet scratch on his arm when the alleged mugger shot him. The young man killed was Pablo Dionisio Valdez, 22, who would have tried to escape with his accomplice in a motorcycle, after receiving two shots fired by Lipovetsky, fainted and fell from the bike.
The Israeli is considered in the country as a security expert to be consulted, even by programs such as the journalist Nuria Piera, who requested his opinion on the installing of surveillance cameras to monitor crime in the city of Santo Domingo. At the time, he described it as a makeshift system, because there was no planning or field research and said it was installed "with a precarious method without the conditions for effective coverage."
DEATH
The alleged attempted robbery against Lipovetsky occurred in the central and busy street intersection of Carmen Mendoza Cornielle street and Avenida 27 de Febrero.
The incident occurred at past seven o'clock. Valdez had tried to mug Lipovetsky with another young man who was waiting on a motorcycle, who, upon the shooting, fled. After being injured, the alleged robber tried to flee but fainted and died later.
The body of Pablo Dionisio Valdez was raised shortly after by police and taken to Forensic Pathology. Lipovetsky was slightly injured when he was shot by one the robbers,
By midmorning today, the citizens polled said to ignore about the event and was evident the silence of employees of commercial establishments located nearby. However, shortly after the occurrence of the crime, residents of the area had complained about the amount of assaults that occur and the absence of police in the area.
The clue is only a bloodstain on the sidewalk of a grocery store where employees say they have not seen anything and not know what happened because "they were sleeping when the shooting occurred."
