Both the man and the woman arrived wounded at the Cerro Hospital.

The man received multiple gunshot wounds that caused his death, according to press reports.

The deceased, 29 years old, had a record for robbery, and his death is associated with the bloody war between the Suarez and the Colos, clans that are fighting territorial drug dealing in that area in Montevideo.

The rivalry between the two groups made headlines due to a shootout on Sunday in the Buceo neighborhood, far from the area of influence of both gangs, which left a woman seriously wounded and her four-year-old son hit by a bullet.

She is the same person who a few weeks ago lost her two-year-old baby in another attack linked to drug trafficking for which she was hospitalized in intensive care.

That person is associated with the Colos, according to police sources.
