Man shot dead over motorcycle

CAMAGUEY, June 7 (Ramón Hugo Armas Guerrero, ACP / www.cubanet.org) - Two masked men shot Andrés Alegre five times at approximately 7:00 a.m. May 31 in an apparent attempt to steal his German-made ETZ-251 motorcycle.

The shooting on busy 25 de Julio Street caused a commotion and panic among arriving students of a secondary school and a child care center nearby.

The two assailants fled after their unsuccessful attempt to take the motorcycle. Residents and passersby managed to hold one and a quick police dragnet through the immediate vicinity captured the other. They were only identified as Mario and William.

Alegre, a 48-year-old engineer with the provincial oil company of Camagüey, died on the scene a few minutes after being shot.
