Q COSTARICA — The Organismo de Investigación Judicial (OIJ) released updated details regarding the shooting death of an American man in the Esterillos Oeste de Parritas, Puntarenas, south of Playa Jaco, which occurred around 8:40 p.m. on Wednesday, January 14.
The deceased was identified as Chandler, 45 years old.
Preliminary reports indicate that Chandler was walking to a residence when, before entering, he was intercepted by two hitmen, “sicarios” in Spanish, on a motorcycle. Apparently, one of them got off the motorcycle and shot him multiple times, killing him at the scene. After the crime, both suspects fled.
The case remains under investigation to clarify the circumstances of the incident and identify those responsible.
Let’s break it down analytically. Hitmen don’t just pick random targets. They go after specific people for a reason. Sure, security might be lacking, but these incidents usually happen because the victim did something they shouldn’t have or owes someone.
