Paloma was shot in the street by two men on a motorcycle on the night of Monday 6th August.

She worked as a street food seller nearby. According to witnesses, two men on a motorcycle approached her just after she had finished packing down her stall for the day. One of them pulled out a revolver and shot at her several times.

She tried to run, but was hit along with an elderly man who was on the sidewalk nearby.

The suspects fled. Paloma was rushed to hospital by her husband, but died there. The elderly man is in a stable condition.
