Playa del Carmen, Q.R. — Two suspects have been charged with attempted aggravated homicide of a Playa del Carmen man. The State Attorney General’s Office reports that they obtained a double indictment against David Melchor “N”, alias “Bimbo”, for his probable participation in acts possibly constituting the crimes of attempted aggravated homicide and drug dealing.
Likewise, Brayan “N” and/or Brayan Rodrigo “N”, alias “La Perra”, was charged only for his probable participation in the crime of attempted aggravated homicide.
According to the investigation, on September 22 of this year, the victim was driving a white Volkswagen Vento on the Playa del Carmen–Puerto Morelos federal highway when he was intercepted by a green Jetta carrying the suspects.
The suspects fired their weapons at him, injuring him and damaging the vehicle. After the attack, the assailants fled, while the victim was taken to the hospital. More than 15 bullet holes were counted against the car.
The investigation reveals that the suspects, now detainees, belong to a violent criminal group and that the attack stemmed from a dispute over control of drug sales in a beach area, where the attackers allegedly mistook the victim.
At a hearing, the judge issued an order to bind both defendants to trial for the crime of attempted aggravated homicide, imposing preventive detention for two years.
David Melchor “N” was also charged with simple possession of marijuana, stemming from his arrest in Puerto Morelos. The judge ordered him to be held in pretrial detention for one year or the duration of the trial.
