The Ministry of Interior in Montevideo has appealed to the public for help in apprehending two individuals sought in connection with separate homicide investigations.

Silva Pullol is wanted for his participation in a homicide that took place on January 23. In that incident, a 31-year-old man was fatally shot multiple times in the chest, arm, and pelvis. The crime occurred in the vicinity of Pasaje El Hornero and Camino La Corona, in the Villa García neighborhood.

Authorities are urging anyone with information to contact the 9-1-1 emergency line, the anonymous tip line 0800 5000, the ministry's website minterior.gub.uy, or to report to the nearest police station. The appeal emphasizes the importance of public cooperation in resolving these serious crimes.
