Two gunmen shot and killed a woman this week execution-style and critically injured her sister and another woman after the assailants kidnapped the three, all dealers at the White House Hotel's casino.

According to an account in the daily Al Día, the two men were waiting outside of the casino, in San Antonio de Escazú, west of San José, when the three got off work and into Arelis Marín's car just after 1 a.m. After following the car for 200 meters, the men shot at the women's car, forcing them to stop and get into their car.

For the next hour, the two men held the women hostage, taking them on a 50-kilometer tour of the area east and north of San José. They left Escazú and went to an ATM, where they forced Peraza to take out $200 from a bank account, and then took the women to a hotel room.

After leaving the hotel, the men drove around to three different locales, where they made one of the women get out and kneel on the ground. They then shot each point-blank.

They first drove to an empty street in San Antonio de Belén, where they forced Yerlin Marín, 24, out of the car and shot her twice in the head. She died at the site.

The men then drove to San Francisco de Heredia where they shot Peraza in the cheek and chest. At a third location, Arelis Marín suffered shots to the neck and rear. The two survived and are in stable condition, although Peraza lost the use of her right eye. Arelis has checked out of the hospital.

Peraza and Arelis Marín reportedly told police the men tried to rape them.

White House business director Ernesto Solorzano told The Tico Times the establishment is committed to supporting the families involved, saying, “We will collaborate … until whatever end of time needs to happen (to bring the matter to rest).” He also noted that the hotel has beefed up its guards and installed more security cameras.

“(An attack) can happen here; it can happen anywhere. It has happened,” he said.

Police say the two men are suspects in three double murders between June 19 and Aug. 20 in Tibás, Pavas and Alajuelita, reported the daily La Nación. One suspect is believed to be in his 40s, and the other, between 20 and 30 years old. The two were driving a white Nissan Sentra B-13 the night of the murder.

The White House Hotel, a popular spot for expats and foreign tourist, is offering a reward of $12,500 for information leading to an arrest. Witnesses can call the Judicial Investigation Police (OIJ) at 800-8000-645.
