Anthony Muñoz, 22, was shot dead on the night of Thursday, November 12, while sitting in the bleachers of the Los Almendros sports court in Ciudad Radial, Juan Díaz. He was left on the ground without vital signs after an attack that happened at about 8:20 p.m.
The killing adds another name to the violence already counted in Juan Díaz. By October 25, the area had recorded nine murders, and this case would raise that total to 10, a grim mark for a district that is still being measured against its own recent bloodshed.
Police said Muñoz received multiple gunshot wounds. During the body recovery, authorities collected 11 shell casings of 9-millimeter caliber, and the recovery was completed at midnight. The Fiscalía de Homicidio y Femicidio, under Maury Díaz, handled the body recovery while personnel from the Dirección de Investigación Judicial remained in the area to investigate what happened.
Several subjects fled in a vehicle after the attack, but the available record does not identify them or say whether anyone was detained later. Some people took the injured man to a nearby health facility, where the effort to save him ended with his death. Police records also show three prior interventions for Muñoz, including a disturbance of peaceful coexistence case, an arrest warrant and a firearm injury record from April 4, 2026, but those entries do not by themselves tie him to this homicide.
The broader picture is harsher still. The SIEC had reported 495 homicides nationwide, including nine non-intentional cases, through October 25, 2026, and El Siglo counted 16 homicides nationwide during November. For Juan Díaz, the immediate question is not the tally but the trail left behind at the court: who arrived, who fled and who will be named responsible once investigators finish stitching together the night Muñoz was killed.
