According to the Police, a crowd lynched and killed one man, and shot another, because they believed the men had mugged three young women, and robbed their cell phones and a wallet in Ensanche Ozama, in Santo Domingo East earlier this week.
Anderson Daniel Mendez Restituyo, 23, died after being shot in the neck, whilst the man with him, Dickson Martinez Perez (Grembel), was shot in the chest.
The preliminary Police report said that both men had been reported for theft two or three times, and that after they attacked three girls they escaped on a motorcycle and were chased by a crowd of people throwing stones. Witnesses said that then they heard gunshots and the robbers lost control of the motorcycle and crashed into a parked SUV.
They were taken to the Dario Contreras hospital where Mendez Restituyo died and Martinez Perez (Grembel) is being treated for his injuries.
The Police have recovered the stolen cell phones and wallet and are continuing their investigations.
