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."
