The gunman who shot and killed a Korean tourist in his 50s was found dead in the U.S. territory of Guam.
According to KUAM News on the 9th (local time), local police in Guam announced that Keiko Junior Santos (28), one of the suspects in the murder of a Korean tourist, was found dead in a vehicle with a gunshot wound believed to be self-inflicted.
Additionally, Stephen Keanu Paulino Camacho (26), presumed to be an accomplice, was arrested at a game room, police said.
Camacho was charged with aggravated murder, aggravated assault, robbery, conspiracy, use of a weapon, and conspiracy, and is currently incarcerated.
Police Chief Steven Ignacio explained that Santos, who died, had a criminal record dating back to 2014 for theft, credit card fraud, identity theft and forgery. Santos was reportedly released in November last year.
Chief Ignacio added that Camacho also had a history of being arrested on charges including assault.
In addition, when asked if there was a possibility that this incident was drug-related, he said, “It is not clear at this time,” and “Everything is fluid and the investigation is ongoing.”
Previously, between 7:40 and 8 p.m. on the 4th, a Korean couple was walking from Gun Beach in the Tumon region of Guam to the Tsubaki Tower Hotel when they encountered a gang of robbers, and while resisting, the husband was shot and killed.
It is said that the couple visited Guam to celebrate their retirement and suffered an accident.
At that time, two of these men approached the couple in a dark-colored sports utility vehicle (SUV), and one of them got out of the car and threatened the couple with a firearm, demanding their belongings.
The suspect who was found dead this time was known to be the shooter at the time.
