Seeing that he had been taken without any justification, she began to follow the criminals to beg them not to take him.
However, people shot him and killed him immediately. According to the police report, he had gunshot wounds to the chest, neck and other parts of his body.
So far, authorities have no clues as to where Palma is.
An eight-year-old boy survived the attack, so he was rescued by police to receive the necessary care.
