One dead, one wounded after shootout
HAVANA, Cuba, September 22 (Ariel Delgado
Covarrubias, UPECI / www.cubanet.org) -
A shootout near the cold storage facility
in the Arroyo Naranjo sector of Havana left
one dead and one wounded, said area residents.
Neighbors said there are gangs operating
out of the cold storage warehouse, trafficking
in meats and meat products.
"It seems there was a settlement of
accounts between the gangs that operate
there," said one local man who asked
not to be identified. He added that the
theft for sale of chicken, beef, and sausages,
is widespread in the warehouse and that
those responsible have organized into armed
gangs.
"No one here could identify the dead
man; he's not from the neighborhood, and
the wounded man was taken by his buddies.
By the time the police arrived, there wasn't
much to do," said the man.
A local woman said: "A policeman friend
of mine told me there are no reports of
any gunshot wounds at any local hospital."
