At around 4 p.m. on August 24th, 2017, 27 year-old Windell Gibson and 25 year-old Karron Santos were in the Conch Shell Bay Fish Market, when a gunman rode up with an accomplice on a motorcycle, and opened fire on the pair. They tried to escape by fleeing into Lindo's Alley, but the assailants pursued them and gunned them down. Gibson was pronounced dead on arrival, and Santos was injured to his left shoulder.

After investigations, police charged Salazar for this deadly shooting, and while the case was going through its process last year, his attorney, Jaraad Ysaguirre, began making submissions to the court that police don't have enough evidence to prove that he was the gunman.

Today, when the case was called up for hearing, the Police Prosecutor, Inspector Egbert Castillo, told Senior Magistrate Patricia Arana that he received a directive from the DPP's Office to withdraw the charges. The Magistrate did just that, and allowed Salazar to go home.
