Wanted man nabbed in shootout

Police reported the capture of another of the men wanted in the brutal attack of a minor in Santo Domingo earlier this week. Jorge Alexander Reyes Alcantara (Satanas), 22, was injured in a shootout with police agents in the barrio Mejoramiento Social before his subsequent arrest and transport to jail. According to Colonel Jose Rafael Acosta Urena, and as reported in El Nacional, an exchange of fire broke out between the man and law officials, who attempted to stop Satanas and two others in his company. The agents were apparently unaware that Satanas was wanted for his involvement in the vicious rape for which two men are already being held and one more is being sought. The men in police custody have admitted to a spree of thievery and violence, stealing vehicles, jewelry and cash, and committing their crimes disguised as members of the military.

The police ask that the remaining fugitive from justice turn himself in to avoid any further bloodshed.
