In the Los Olivos district of Lima, the capital of Peru, members of the music group "Las Estrellas de la Cumbia" were subjected to an armed attack while in their vehicle. While the artists were taking a breakfast break to head towards Trujillo, two attackers approaching on a motorcycle opened fire on the bus.
In the attack, trumpeter Jaime Neciosup was injured in his finger, while the bus driver was injured by shrapnel fragments and the co-driver was injured by a bullet entering his cheek. The large number of empty shell casings found at the scene and the numerous bullet holes in the bus revealed the severity of the attack.
