The three masked gunmen — who entered Veras’ home as he ate dinner with his family on their patio — shot him 12 times, primarily in the back and then a final shot to his head. Veras was taken to a private hospital but was pronounced dead a short time later, according to ABC Color.
On February 24, prosecutors in Paraguay said 10 suspects in the killing of Veras had been arrested — nine on criminal conspiracy and weapons charges, according to an official news release by the Attorney General’s Office. The 10 suspects included six Paraguayans, three Brazilians and one Bolivian.
Among those arrested was Cyntia Raquel Pereira, who is suspected of belonging to the First Capital Command (Primeiro Comando da Capital – PCC), Prosecutor Marcelo Pecci said. He said Pereira had been sentenced previously to 10 years in prison in Brazil for drug trafficking and other crimes related to the PCC, a violent Brazilian gang that has gained a foothold in Paraguay.
