Investigation and response
Both outlets reported the case was referred to the Bayamón Criminal Investigations Corps for further investigation. Police urged anyone with information to call 787-343-2020.
El Nuevo Día reported that the Riviera community association issued a statement expressing regret over the incident and solidarity with the victim. The association said the carjacking occurred outside the controlled-access area of the community, where no incidents have been recorded and access control is functioning normally. It added that it will reinforce physical and electronic surveillance in the perimeter and at the Tennis Center starting that day, and that private security is in contact with state and municipal police as well as the Bayamón mayor’s office for additional support.
Carjacking statistics
El Nuevo Día reported that carjackings continue to rise in the Bayamón police region, with 44 reported this year, 11 more than the 33 recorded by the same date in 2025. Islandwide, however, the number has decreased to 147 this year compared with 190 at the same point in 2025.
Where the sources differ
Both Telemundo Puerto Rico and El Nuevo Día agree on the location, the description of the Lexus, the sequence of events involving two individuals on a motorcycle, the use of a long weapon, the victim fleeing to the tennis courts unharmed, and referral to the Bayamón CIC. El Nuevo Día adds statistics showing a rise in carjackings in the Bayamón region contrasted with an islandwide decline, and it is the only source that reports the Riviera community association’s statement about reinforcing security and that the incident occurred outside the controlled-access area.
What the reports do not say
The reports do not identify the victim, the exact time the carjacking occurred beyond “Tuesday night,” the description or license plate of the motorcycle, whether the weapon was fired or any shots were heard, or whether the vehicle has been recovered. They also do not state what additional support the Bayamón mayor’s office may provide or the outcome of the investigation.
