A new crime has occurred in Comas. The beer entrepreneur and one of the owners of the Fogata nightclub in Collique was shot to death while closing his liquor store. The 61-year-old man, identified as Martín Alfredo Arteta Díaz, was allegedly the victim of extortion, as he was asked for S/60,000 as a quota due to his line of business.
According to security cameras, the beer entrepreneur was closing his store when he was shot, falling to the ground instantly. After the incident, a vehicle, apparently a motorcycle, was heard fleeing, while someone approached to help him and he was put into the hopper of a PNP patrol car.
"I went in to fill the beer machine, but as soon as I entered, I heard about four gunshots. I came back and Martín was already on the ground," said a witness, who preferred to remain anonymous to avoid retaliation. Meanwhile, according to the images, the alleged hitman was captured: wearing a white polo shirt, blue jeans, and white sneakers; he ran away after the shots were fired.
The crime occurred on Revolución Street in Collique, and according to initial reports, the killer escaped down Huascarán Avenue. Witnesses also said that after the crime, there was no vehicle to transport the victim, so they waited for a patrol car to arrive. "He was still alive in the hospital, but since they couldn't stop the bleeding, he was bleeding to death," said one witness.
Martín Arteta died at the Sergio Bernales Hospital in Collique and is remembered as an entrepreneur and hard worker. He started his business 15 years ago, but in 2024, he had to close due to extortion threats. "He came from the bottom; I've worked with him, I've been his right-hand man. He told me there was (extortion) going on last year, and we closed the store in September, October, and November. There was no work," his friend said.
