El comisionado auxiliar en investigaciones criminales de la Policía de Puerto Rico, teniente coronel Roberto Rivera Miranda, confirmó que las autoridades detuvieron a tres personas en relación con un asesinato ocurrido cerca de las 2:30 p.m. del domingo en los predios del estacionamiento del centro comercial Plaza Palma Real, en Humacao.

En el incidente fue asesinado Carlos Manuel Cepeda Durán, de 39 años, según identificaron las autoridades. No obstante, el agente indicó que la familia aún no ha realizado el proceso de identificación. Además, resultó herida de bala, en su mano derecha, una mujer de 28 años que acompañaba al hombre.

“Bajó un sinnúmero de informaciones ayer mismo que se trabajaron, y la misma resultó en tres personas que fueron detenidas en una residencia que aparenta haber sido alquilada por este occiso y, claro, se les ocuparon unas armas”, indicó el agente al explicar que los dispositivos estaban listos para disparar en automático.

Rivera Miranda añadió que también se ocuparon peines para las armas y 17 kilos de cocaína, y afirmó que el móvil del caso pudiera ser el narcotráfico.

El agente concluyó que hoy continuarán investigando con el material de pietaje de las cámaras del lugar, aparte del testimonio que la fémina herida ofrezca para dar con la identidad de los victimarios.

La cifra de asesinatos alcanza los 404, 18 menos que en esta fecha el año pasado, según Rivera Miranda.

Pendientes para ampliación.

“Un momento triste y conmovedor cuando Su Majestad, la reina, deja a su amado Balmoral por última vez”, escribió en su cuenta de Twitter la ministra principal de Escocia, Nicola Sturgeon. “Hoy, mientras hace su viaje a Edimburgo, Escocia rendirá homenaje a una mujer extraordinaria”, añadió.

El féretro permanecerá esta noche en el salón del trono antes de que lo lleven a la catedral de Saint Giles el martes por la tarde, lugar donde una gran multitud se congregó para presenciar la proclamación del rey Carlos III.

Posteriormente, los restos serán trasladados a Londres. Está previsto que el próximo 19 de septiembre se lleve a cabo el funeral de Estado de la difunta Isabel II en la abadía de Westminster, así como su entierro en la capilla de San Jorge, ubicada en el castillo de Windsor, en Inglaterra.

Explicó que el proyecto mejorará un segmento de 1.4 millas a lo largo de la PR-2 en Mayagüez, incluyendo lo siguiente: la eliminación de semáforos en seis intersecciones, la eliminación del acceso directo y la construcción de calles laterales para tránsito local, peatones y ciclistas. El proyecto también construirá dos puentes de paso elevado y eliminará los semáforos en la intersección de la calle San Juan y la intersección PR-3108.

Mencionó que los fondos provienen del programa INFRA (Proyectos multimodales de carga y carreteras significativos a nivel nacional) del Departamento de Transportación de los Estados Unidos y son financiados por el presupuesto anual de la agencia bajo el año fiscal 2022.

INFRA otorga subvenciones competitivas para proyectos multimodales de carga y carreteras de importancia nacional o regional para mejorar la seguridad, la eficiencia y la confiabilidad del movimiento de carga y personas en zonas rurales y urbanas.

CPL 2022: Barbados Royals extend unbeaten start with win Loop Barbados

Black Immigrant Daily News

The content originally appeared on: Barbados News

The Barbados Royals secured their fifth straight victory of the 2022 Hero Caribbean Premier League (CPL) season with a win over Jamaica Tallawahs by eight wickets.

The Barbados Royals won the toss and chose to field, getting off to a dream start by removing opener Brandon King for a duck.

However, once again it was captain Rovman Powell who took charge for the Tallawahs, scoring his second successive half-century to take his side to 153/7 after 20 overs.

In their chase, Barbados Royals bounced back after the early dismissal of Kyle Mayers with their South African contingent of Quinton de Kock, Corbin Bosch and captain David Miller combining across the innings to guide the side to victory by eight wickets.

Jamaica Tallawahs lost King in the first over as Mayers demonstrated his ability with the ball. Amir Jangoo and Powell formed a 57-run partnership that was supported by some power-hitting later on from Raymon Reifer and Fabian Allen.

West Indies fast bowler Obed McCoy was the stand-out bowler for the Royals, taking 3 wickets for 24 runs as the Tallawahs finished on 153/7.

Barbados Royals were in early trouble in their chase as opener Mayers was dismissed in the second over, but a magnificent partnership of 117 runs between de Kock and Bosch stifled the Tallawah bowlers. Once Bosch lost his wicket, Miller came in and scored 16 runs off 8 balls in a nervy finish to take his side across the line with just one ball to spare.

The win means Barbados Royals maintain their unbeaten start to the season and retain their spot at the top of the league table, while Jamaica Tallawahs remain second.

Scores in the match: Barbados Royals 157/2 (de Kock 64*, Bosch 56 ; Green 1/24, Amir 1/26) beat Jamaica Tallawahs 156/8 (Powell 52, Reifer 41; McCoy 3/24, Holder 2/24) by 8 wickets

NHC monitoring two tropical waves in the Atlantic Ocean Loop Barbados

The content originally appeared on: Barbados News

Two tropical waves located in the Atlantic Ocean have grabbed the attention of the US National Hurricane Centre (NHC).

The wave that is expected to reach the Caribbean first is located in the Central Atlantic Ocean between Africa and the Windward Islands.

NHC said the wave is producing a large area of disorganised showers and thunderstorms.

“Some slow development of this system is possible over the next several days while it moves generally westward to west-north-westward over the central tropical Atlantic and approaches the Windward Islands by the end of the week,” NHC said.

Forecasters have given the wave a 20 per cent chance to develop into a tropical cyclone over the next five days.

The second tropical wave, which is located just off the west coast of Africa, is also an area of disorganised showers and thunderstorms.

“Environmental conditions appear only marginally favourable, and any development of this wave should be slow to occur while it moves westward or west-north-westward across the eastern tropical Atlantic through the end of the week,” NHC stated.

The wave has also been given a 20 per cent chance to develop into a tropical cyclone this week.

The Royal Ocean Racing Club announces the inaugural RORC Caribbean 600 Series which will be based in Antigua from 14th to 24th February 2023.

The series will include three days of racing followed by the main event; the 14th edition of the RORC Caribbean 600. The RORC Caribbean 600 Series is open to boats racing under the IRC, CSA and MOCRA Class Rules, plus other suitable classes.

RORC Vice Commodore Eric de Turckheim’s Teasing Machine and RORC Commodore James Neville’s INO XXX are both set to compete in the RORC Caribbean 600 Series.

In two versions of Teasing Machine, Eric de Turckheim has competed in four previous editions of the RORC Caribbean 600.

“Historically, major 600-mile offshore races are part of a series, for example the Fastnet and the Admiral’s Cup. The RORC Caribbean 600 Series will have a similar format with inshore racing, a medium length offshore and a long offshore race,” commented Turckheim. “The RORC Caribbean 600 race is one of the best offshore races in the world, but it is normally won by a big boat. The Series will give smaller boats a better chance of winning due to the variety of races. The Royal Ocean Racing Club have a long-term plan for the RORC Caribbean 600 Series; making it one of the world’s most significant regattas.”

2023 RORC Caribbean 600 Series

14th to 24th February 2023

Tuesday 14th February 2023 – Inshore racing in coastal waters of Antigua

Friday 24th February – Prize Giving RORC Caribbean 600

“The combination of a tactically challenging Caribbean destination, sunshine and warm blue waters makes this a totally unique event,” commented Race Director Chris Stone. “The RORC will continue to work with Antigua Yacht Club and their local volunteers supporting the management of this great event. All of the races in the Series will require boats to comply with World Sailing Offshore Special Regulations Category 3. For the RORC Caribbean 600 Race, boats will require additional equipment including: Liferaft, EPIRB and AIS Transponder.”

International Race Officer Hank Stuart from Rochester New York will be the Race Officer for the RORC Caribbean 600 Series. The intention is to run multiple races over the first two days. After Lay Day, the 52-mile 360 Round Antigua Race is scheduled and three days later will be the start of the 14th RORC Caribbean 600.
