According to the military police, the police raid took place after a call stating that a family had been abducted by the mafia.
“As soon as we reached the community, the exchange of gunfire between the police and the drug dealers began,” the military police said in a brief statement.
The two drug dealers were taken to hospital, but doctors simply announced their deaths.
According to local media, the young woman was born in 1999 and went from religious songs to church selling drugs.

The young girl loved to dance and was constantly changing her hair in an attempt to go unrecognized.
