On the morning of Monday 20 March 2017, a woman was killed early in the morning in an incident on Francisco Prats Ramirez Street in Evaristo Morales in the National District.
Delcy Miguelina Concepción Yapor, wife of Deacon Leandro Acosta of the Catholic parish El Buen Pastor, was driving children to school in a Nissan van she used to earn a living. She was struck in the chest by the bullet and died at the scene.
A surveillance video shows a passing motorcycle with two passengers zoom by her van, shortly after the car would stop.
In a press conference on Monday evening, Police spokesman Nelson Rosario said that Franklin Padilla Núñez, a former corporal of the Dominican Air Force, was arrested as the man who fired the shot that killed the woman. Padilla admitted to firing the shot from his Glock ,40 caliber pistol at two motorized individuals who moments before had stolen the handbag of a young woman, never imagining it could reach anyone else.
