Pacho El Antifeka's Shooters Already Studied His Movement
Puerto Rico Police Lieutenant Colonel Roberto Rivera unveiled more information to WKAQ Radio after Pacho El Antifeka's death and shared how the killers tracked his movement recently before the incident.
"They were stalking him yesterday (Wednesday) until they saw him," he said. "They allowed him to enter the place first. He was seen. Once he returned to the vehicle, there they opened fire on him and riddled him inside the vehicle."
Pacho El Antifeka himself had been involved in multiple legal issues prior to his killing. Per Sportskeeda, he was arrested in March after police recovered two guns at a public housing project home but he was released on bail.
A similar incident happened in 2015, during which he was charged with the unlawful possession of a firearm after police spotted him leaving the weapon in front of a store in Cataño.
