Benicio Ramírez, the Director of the Cordillera police department, told reporters that authorities do not believe she was the “target,” explaining via a translation by the BBC:
Minister of the Interior, Arnaldo Guizzio, insisted that an investigation is ongoing as authorities attempt to determine a motive. According to Alicia Sapriza, a prosecutor in the case who spoke with BBC, authorities believe the shooter was after José Luis Bogado Quevedo, an alleged drug trafficker wanted by cops. He is currently in critical condition in the hospital. Marcelo Eladio Monteggia Díaz, who also has ties to drug trafficking, is also being detained in the hospital according to ABC TV.
