Ten people have been arrested in connection with the fatal shooting of a young girl in Tres Mil Viviendas in Sevilla last Tuesday night. Nine of the detainees were apprehended on the Costa del Sol after fleeing Sevilla.
The girl who died and her parents, who were wounded in the incident, are thought to have been collateral damage in a shootout between to rival gypsy clans in a dispute relating to drug trafficking.
The detainees belong to the drug clan Los Perla and fled Sevilla for fear of reprisals by their rivals Los Marianos, to whom the victims were distantly related. Nine of the arrests took place in Calahonda, Mijas, and the tenth in Huelva.
At the house in Calahonda police found a number of weapons, eight kilos of gold and €150,000 in cash.
The problem now is to determine if the weapons found in Calahonda relate to the killing and which of the detainees actually pulled the trigger.
