A “warning”. This is one of the hypotheses that researchers have about the shooting occurred this Tuesday in broad daylight outside the Cristalmar Shopping Center situated in Puerto Banus. The author’s attitude, which has been recorded through some images taken by witnesses, denotes his lack of professionalism, as evidenced by the way in which he he wielded the automatic weapon -a mini Uzi- and the route he took with it. “It wasn’t very professional; seemed to be giving notice someone because if he had wanted to shoot someone he would have left the car nearby and not run. He was also going with the submachine gun lowered,” say sources close to the case.
The Drug and Organized Crime Unit (UDYCO) of Marbella has taken over the investigation of the case. At the moment, no arrests have been made, as reported by the Police. Two suspects are being sought after they fled the area where the shooting took place and got into a vehicle that was later found charred near the so-called Lake of the Turtles. This caused a fire to start that had to be put out by firefighters.
The video that is circulating through social networks reflects the moment in which, after the first detonations, several people are terrified. At that moment, a man enters the scene who, hidden behind a cap and a bandana, shoots a automatic weapon, which is interrupted. There were no victims.
The 112 Andalucía Emergency service received several alert calls around 6:00 p.m. in which witnesses reported that there had been a shooting on Avenida de las Naciones, and that the shooter had fled. The agents of the National Police and Civil Guard immediately went to the place. The toilets, which were activated at first, did not have to go in the end.
