WILLEMSTAD - Jefferson Lizander Garcia Canela, a 31-year-old from the Dominican Republic, has been identified as the sixth murder victim of the year in Curaçao. The police announced this yesterday. His bullet-riddled body was found last Monday in a car on Elmestraat in Steenrijk.
The Dominican was killed in a drive-by shooting. He was sitting in a black SUV when another car drove into Elmestraat and opened fire on the victim, hitting him multiple times. The motive for the murder is still unknown.
