Now, his murder also happened half a mile from where police had mounted a command center on Flamboyant Street. Today we found out that Police were close enough to fire at the suspected shooter, but not close enough to catch him. Police say that Estiverne was killed for his vehicle:
Sr. Supt. Marco Vidal, Commander - Eastern Division South
"Mr. Estiverne was driving his grey Dodge van and when he approached the corner of Complex Avenue and Jones Street. That is when he was shot upon by an unknown male person and later succumbed to his injuries."
"This investigation continues. We are seeking 3 persons in relation to this."
Jules Vasquez, reporter
"Was there any robbery element in there?"
Sr. Supt. Marco Vidal
"No motive has been determined as yet, but it is suspected that the vehicle would have been used to commit a robbery."
Jules Vasquez, reporter
"Is there any chance that it's like a retaliation on the state or something to humiliate the police department which was about half mile away concentrated?"
Sr. Supt. Marco Vidal
"I don't think there is any information suggesting that. As I said it appears that the intention was to use the vehicle to some other crime."
ACP Dezerie Magdaleno, Commander - Eastern Division North
"As a matter of fact, police were able to engage the shooter. So police had fired shots at the shooter. Police actually saw persons. So as a result of the ongoing operation."
Jules Vasquez, reporter
"And you all have known suspects at this time?"
ACP Dezerie Magdaleno
"We know who we are looking for."
Police are currently seeking three suspects.
