“It happened this way, we were sitting at around seven thirty. I saw a motorcycle pass this way and then it went back. He then told me to go by the roadside with the flash light. He went ahead of me. I then saw two person over that side. I told him not to go. But he didn’t listen to me. He went and then I heard then arguing.”

“One of the men hit him in the face with the shotgun. He fell down and then his ex-wife began to stab him. We struggled to take away the knife but then the man with the shotgun shot Wilmer in the face. Then Maria, who was with Wilmer, reacted to this but the man shot her in the stomach. He then fired a third shot towards Wilmer’s sister who was hit on the shoulder. We tried to help but we couldn’t. We ran away.”
The alleged shooter remains in hiding as he is being sought by police.
