A 45-year-old San Juan man was gunned down in a gang-re­lat­ed in­ci­dent on Wednes­day af­ter­noon.

Po­lice re­port­ed that around 2 pm, Amin "Boo­gie­man" De Leon, of Quar­ry Road, San Juan, was stand­ing in­side a par­lour when a gun­man ap­proached from be­hind and shot him.

The as­sailant then fled.

Po­lice said 12 spent 9mm shell cas­ings, one 5.56 spent shell cas­ing and two de­formed pro­jec­tiles were re­cov­ered at the scene.

The mur­der toll for the year now stands at 290, com­pared with 315 for the same pe­ri­od last year.
