An 18-year-old man, Yonathan Reyes, was shot in the right thigh in the San Juan area of the trans-isthmus of Colón, Panama.
According to reports, the violent incident occurred at 1:05 a.m. this Saturday at the entrance to the Santa Cruz community, in an area known as El 20.
In the initial investigation, the victim stated that he was in a parking lot when an unknown individual suddenly shot him.
