A 31-year-old man is arrested in Lilongwe after allegedly firing a gun at a fellow drinker during an incident at a bar. Police say the victim was shot in the buttocks, and the suspect is identified as Romario Lorenzo (also spelled Romario Lolenzo in one report). Authorities report that the alleged shooting occurs during a dispute inside LeyLand Bar.
The accounts describe the row as over an unpaid drink bill. One outlet characterizes the confrontation as a furious argument that escalates into gunfire in a crowded bar. Both sources say police take the suspect into custody and charge him with unlawful use of a firearm and acts intended to cause grievous harm. The reports do not provide details on the victim’s condition, the exact number of shots, or whether the suspect used a particular firearm model. Police investigations continue as the matter moves through the criminal justice process.
