Bacilio Villatoro was killed after confronting a man trying to break in to a truck, police said
The victim, identified as Bacilio Villatoro, 57, lived in Silver Spring, Md., with one of his two adult sons, and had a wife and grown daughter in El Salvador, according to his brother-in-law.
Dustin Sternbeck, a D.C. police spokesman, said that Villatoro saw a man tampering with a truck and began to argue with him. Sternbeck said the man pulled out a gun and Villatoro turned and began to run.Villatoro died at the scene and police said the gunman drove off in a black Chevrolet Impala. No arrests were made as of Friday. Police said it appears no property was taken. It was not immediately clear if the truck belonged to the landscaping company or another worker.
The Gateway neighborhood where Villatoro was shot has had no other homicides this year, and police statistics show assaults with dangerous weapons have dropped compared to last year. But those statistics also show robberies have nearly doubled.
