A man identified as Minner Ramiro Sรกnchez Uriol, known by the aliases 'Minner' and 'Ce Pequeรฑo,' was fatally shot in the district of Alto Trujillo, within the Trujillo province of Peru's La Libertad region. Sรกnchez Uriol was allegedly a member of the criminal organization Los Pulpos.

The attack occurred near the Arco Iris complex, close to the La Esperanza district. Preliminary information suggests Sรกnchez Uriol was involved in criminal activities, including allegedly firing shots at Christopher Cabrera Gonzales, also known as 'Kroas.' He was also reportedly under investigation for his suspected participation in the murder of an elderly man during a dispute over land in a squatter settlement.

Further allegations link 'C-pequeรฑo' to placing dynamite at the Los Diamantes company in Alto Trujillo. He was reportedly acting under the orders of ร“scar Cruz Basilio, considered a leader within Los Pulpos and a cousin to the organization's top leader, Jhonson Cruz Torres. Police are investigating the crime scene for evidence and are exploring whether the motive stems from conflicts among organized crime groups.
