The man was identified by a spokesperson from the Judicial Investigation Police (OIJ) as Dennis Omier Taylor of Limón. Police said that a 30-year-old woman thought to be the man’s wife and the taxi driver were seriously injured in the attack.

After seeing your post, I went looking and found this, about the dead man:


Dead is 34 year-old Denis Omier Taylor, which according to the Ministerio de Seguridad Pública (MSP) is linked to organized crime in Limon and alleged “trigger man: for the “Chichi Cole”gang, linked to at least 15 homicides. Taylor was to stand trial for attempted murder in the coming days.

This is insane!

Taylor probably wasn't too surprised when the shooting started, I'll bet.

Thank you, so much!

"This marks the 147th drug-related murder in the country in the past nine months, according to OIJ. Most of the murders have occurred in Limón province and in the San José suburb of Desamparados, according to police statistics. The district of San Francisco de Dos Ríos is located on the northern border of the Desamparados canton."

This Denis Taylor dude, I can'f find a pic but I have to wonder if he's American or from the UK?
