February 28, 1986, is a Friday. Suddenly, the deafening blast of a gunshot reverberates in the city.

Help quickly arrives, but as fate would have it, the man’s life would prove impossible to save as he is rushed to the hospital with his wife by his side. With this explanation of the incident, you may think this is just another crime story - but it’s not that simple.
