Several similar murders have already been recorded in this neighborhood since the beginning of the year. In February, agents from the unit for the fight against crime and organized crime (UDYCO) arrested two individuals for their alleged involvement in the murder of a neighbor in the neighborhood, which occurred months earlier.
The El Príncipe neighborhood is located south of Ceuta. It leads south to the city, up to the border post with Morocco, which will remain closed until November 30 due to the health crisis.
