Agent Shot By Fellow Agent And Not
Criminals, Director Says
The director of the Organismo de
Investigación Judicial (OIJ), Jorge Rojas
Vargas, confirmed on Tuesday that the death
of agent Ronny Sojo Chacón during a shootout
with criminals on October 20 was accidental,
getting caught in the line of fire of a
fellow agent.
Rojas said that the investigation concludes
that the bullet that killed Sojo came from a
9mm used by a fellow OIJ agent and not the
anti-socials, as it was first believed.
Rojas said that the fatal shot was
accidental, as Sojo got in the line of fire.
The OIJ director did not name the agent, who
due to his subsequent actions, is subject to
being fired from the force and face criminal
charges.
Rojas said the charges are for the agent's
action after the shooting, where he
attempted to alter his weapon to impede the
investigation and being discovered as the
shooter.
